In fact, today we are going to talk about a program that requires a $0 down payment. We’re here with our preferred lender Peter Wease, who is going to discuss USDA loans with us. These loans, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are for homes outside of the city’s urban growth boundary. There are a few requirements you will have to meet to qualify, but when you do, you will be left with a $0 down payment. To see how you could qualify for this type of loan in Portland, watch this short video.
