I love to attend classes; I recently caught a great one hosted by Portland’s PDC on the various lending programs they offer home buyers. Many of the programs are available only in Rural Development areas or areas within the Urban Renewal Boundaries (such as St. Johns or Lents) but I was truly amazed at the programs that are available. There is some limiting criteria (such as having to live in the home for a specified number of years) but what they offer is an opportunity to purchase with zero down.

In a recently posted blog I talked about USDA rural loans that require zero down…. well now I have a link you can go to, type in an address and confirm if a specific home or area qualifies… I know Sandy, Oregon makes the list! Click the link below and enter a home address under Property Eligibility.
