House with no down payment?
    #14638556 - 06/19/11 06:21 PM (2 years, 19 hours ago)

is it possible to get a home with no down payment. i'm really young (18) but want to get a home as soon as i can before the prices go back up. is it possible to get a house without a down payment. i will have enough money for a cheap mortgage. 1000/mo but i dont have lots of money at this moment. i would like to get a home so that i can later rent it out and make some money off of it.  or just own land and let it appreciate in value by the time im 50 or so

It seems the chance of house prices going up much is pretty slim. You probably have a couple of years to save up before they go back up any large margin but ya never know I guess. You can get a house with a 3% down payment for first time home buyers which is pretty damn low. Should really only take like 6 months if your living at home with no expenses and making $1000/month.

No way a legit lender is going to sell a house to an 18 year old with no money down.

Go talk to a realtor.

Never heard of 'kiddy loans' but it sounds like a scam. :shrug:

I think they only allow foreigners to do that.  Good luck.







Seriously though, many programs are available and they varry from state to state and county to county.  The short answer is, YES.

You need a blood relative with enough solvency to assume the risk and qualify.  10 second google search.

FHA will let you buy with 3% down, and they will even let sellers give you a credit.  I'm not sure what city you are in, but I buy preforeclosures for ridiculous prices. Just bought a 3 unit for 35K, rents are 3K/month! Shit buy a multi unit live in one and rent the others.  It's not a neighborhood I'd bring my family to, but it's not a bad ghetto either.  Live there one year to fulfill your residency as owner occupied, then re mortgage cash out, go buy another pl;ace with that money.

Are you talking about the tax exclusion for primary residence?  I don't think you can get a tax exclusion on a multi family and it takes two years of occupancy, not one.

what tax exception are you talking about?  Also, you can cash out FHA to 95% after 12 months.  Actually, less now but it is unclear exactly when.

Profit exemption from taxes on $250K single $500K couple from the sale of a primary residence after 2 years of occupancy.  What does "cash out FHA" mean?

cashout is a refinance where using the current appraised value, you can convert equity to cash.  No sale needed.  The cash is considered loan proceeds and not taxable.

Oh.  You just refinanced for a higher amount.  You still owe the money.  At interest.

yes, very low interest.  Use debt constructively.  If you borrow equity at say 5%, and you use that money to acquire a property returning 15%, you have a 10% ROI

That is certainly true.  Where I live they call that a unicorn.  Traditionally the assumption on rental property was that it would take a few years for a positive cash flow, i.e. payments stay the same but revenues increase gradually until after, say, 5 years it becomes profitable.  Further, there is no bank I know of that will lend 95% on a negative cash flow investment property.  If the FHA is doing that they should be fucking shot.

FHA will not lend on an investment property, it has to be owner occ.  I was saying to by a 2 or 3 unit, live in one unit, rent out the rest.

They'll do that?  At 95%?  And where the hell can you buy a positive cashflow building when half or a third is producing no income?  Hell, you can't find a positive cashflow building around here period.  Not at first.  Sellers up their price to suit loan costs.  They aren't stupid.

That's a beautiful thing.  Of course, I have absolutely no desire to live anywhere where you can buy a multi-family for even $120,000.  Where the hell is that?  Watts?
