100% Financing Alive and Well in Minnesota!

Contrary to popular belief, it is still possible to purchase a home in Minnesota with no down payment. There are two great programs for Minnesota home buyers and most people can qualify for one or the other of these programs. While the 100% sub-prime loan is currently very hard to find if not completely gone, the FHA program still makes purchasing a home possible, even for people who don’t quite fit into the conforming or “A” credit” box. If you’re a Minnesota First Time Home Buyer or buying your next home, check out these great Minnesota mortgage options.
