Great time to Buy a Home

January 29th, 2008 9:34 PM

FHA just announced a new "zero down" program. It actually requires 1.5% of the home purchase price as a down payment, but the seller of the home will be allowed to pay it for the buyer. Once again, you will be able to buy a home for about $500 to $1000 total. That's less than the deposits required to rent a house! Stop making your landlord rich. This is the time!
