[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 188537, member: 423"] Mort, when I got my new double wide home loan in 2002 I didn't have money for a down payment either. I told the loan officer at the bank (Dakota Community Bank) that I didn't have the money and she said no problem. She got me a no interest 10 year loan from the Lewis and Clark Foundation for the down payment and away we went. She did all the paperwork and all I did was put my John Henry on the applications. I don't know anything about that program or if it is still available. I paid off the loan quite a while ago so I don't know where my paperwork is anymore. You could check around to see if there still is a program like that, it's worth a shot.

When interest rates dropped a few years later I used the equity in my house to refinance the loan to 15 years at an interest rate half of the original loan. Monthly payment was lower and by my calculations I saved about $42,000 in interest charges over keeping the original loan rates.
