There are several options available for buying a home in New Jersey even if you have no down payment. The zero down payment option is available using several home loans but only if you qualify and the property qualifies.  The two most common government backed programs that will allow for zero down home purchases are the USDA home loan program and the VA home loan program. If you cannot utilize either of these options in NJ then you may may be able to use a participating New Jersey program to help buy a new home with no down payment or with some subsidized down payment/closing assistance.

The New Jersey offers affordable home buyer programs, including downpayment and closing cost assistance. Along with private organizations many communities within New Jersey offer programs to help educate and assist first time home buyers. The programs that are offered may have specific qualifications such as Income/Debt (DTI) requirements, credit scores and resident location. So education is critical when entering the home buyer market. Getting qualified prior to making any offer on a home is a wise decision since some NJ programs may require a completion of a buyers course and certification prior to offer.
