A mortgage with a low down payment allows you to buy a property with a down payment of less than 20% of the home's buying price. Traditional mortgages often need a 20% or more down payment, which can be a considerable barrier for many first-time home purchasers.

There are several types of low-down-payment purchase options available, including:

• FHA Loans: They are provided by the Federal Housing Administration and demand a 3.5% down payment. They are available to borrowers with weaker credit ratings, making them an excellent choice for first-time homebuyers.
• VA Loans: These loans for veterans and active-duty military members require no down payment.
• Conventional Loans: These are loans offered by private lenders and require a minimum down payment of 3% to 5%. They typically have stricter credit scores and income requirements than FHA loans.

• Makes homeownership more accessible by reducing the upfront costs of buying a home
• It can be a good option for first-time homebuyers or those with limited savings
• Some options have more flexible credit score requirements
• May offer lower interest rates than traditional mortgages
• Can help borrowers build equity in their homes over time
• Allows borrowers to start building their credit history through mortgage payments
• Can be combined with other homebuyer assistance programs to reduce costs further
• It may be a better financial option than renting over the long term.
