In this week's 5-Point-5, we'll highlight a new loan program that allows you to buy a home with no money down.

1st point: No money down?

The lender provides your 3% down payment as a deferred, no interest second mortgage.

2nd point: No second mortgage payments

A deferred second mortgage means you aren't required to make monthly payments on it, so it doesn't affect your housing payment.

3rd point: So, what's the catch?

Really, there isn't one. You pay off the second mortgage, without interest, when you sell, refinance, or pay off your home.

4th point: Moderate income limits

The program targets low-to-moderate income homebuyers, those whose income is no more than 80% of the median income in their area.

Last point: Can I avoid the income limits?

Yes, you can. If you haven't owned a home in the last 3 years and have good credit, the income limits don't apply.
