Good Afternoon Arlen-
There are many loans available with only 10% down, this of course would be, or should be customized around your needs. There are even loans that have a minimum downpaytment of only 3%. As with every loan the qualifications of the borrower will also determine what the minimum down payment will be, i.e. credit, income etc. Regarding 80/10/10 loans, unfortunately these are hard to come by these days due to the "credit-crunch".
Please let me know if I can answer any specific questions you may have.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Good Morning-
I've actually seen this paid by both buyer/seller, but for the most part I think the seller is the one who pays it.
Have a great day.

Hi Gwen-
A bank wants to see "stable" income before it can be used to qualify. Disability income is considered "stable" income, only if it is permanent. Therefore if this is the case you may be able to qualify for a mortgage. Also, lenders allow you to "Gross" disability income up approx. 115%-125% for qualification purposes. These are general statements so please feel free to call me with any specific questions.
Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Jenn-
The answer is “Yes” you can purchase another home if your name is on the note of another mortgage. In order to purchase a primary residence, you basically would just show proof that your ex-husband is and has been making the payments on the home - you could do this with canceled checks. Then you should be able to exclude or wash this payment from your debt to income ratio, therefore allowing you to qualify without taking the hit of both mortgage payments against you. Your current credit and income will determine how much you would qualify for.
I agree with the responses below and would seek legal council regarding the options that are available to you about selling your current home.
Please don’t hesitate to call me with any questions.
Thank you, and have a great day.
