What's the mortgage market like? Are people still able to find mortgages with 5% down, 10%, 20%?

Kris, in many cases in todays market purchase prices will allow you to purchase with no money down. Plus, if you can qualify as a first-time homebuyer you can get the feds to provide 10% down or up to $8000. The stapilutations on this credit are quite liberal and even include mobile homes and "house boats" if you spend more than 50% of your time residing in them.

First-time homebuyer is a pretty liberal term too. Contact me if you want specifics.

Kris, consumers have a number of available options in the mortgage market. As stated earlier, a popular product is the FHA loan requiring as little as 3.5% downpayment. There are a number of other options depending on the borrower. Further, you may be interested in a Rural Development loan (referred to as RD by many) where the borrower does not have a downpayment, though there are certain factors to consider here and restrictions on property location. If you would like more information or have other questions, please contact me. Good luck!
