Did the federal government introduce a nationwide ban on security deposits equal to three months' rent starting on July 1, 2024? No, that's not true: The fact that such laws went into effect in at least two states on this day does not make those laws federal.

It’s a tough time to be a homebuyer. In an environment of historically high interest rates and stubborn listing prices, the dream of homeownership is as elusive as ever. But it’s even harder to buy a home when you believe (incorrectly) that you absolutely must have 20% saved up for a down payment.

What is down payment assistance and how do you get it?

You generally need to demonstrate sufficient income to buy a house, but it is possible to buy a home with no income. You’ll need to prove to a lender that you can afford the mortgage payments in other ways, such as by paying with assets, or you’ll need to buy the house with all cash.
