well, i can't tell for certain what it is you're asking, but i'll try.

depending on where you live, you are going to find that lenders can offer you a loan with no more than 3.5% down payment (fha loan) or one with zero% down payment (usda loan).

those are the best products out there for low down-payment types, and these are two programs you don't have to have excellent credit to qualify.

Thanks for the informative post George.

Has anything changes since last year? Are major lenders charging non-refundable application fees these days before giving pre-approvals?

No, a lender cannot charge application fees up front. The only items they can charge for are third party fees (ie credit reports and appraisals).

Nice to know someone's got your back when it's needed.

It just makes good sense to do the ground work first and know wht your borrowing power is.
