Purchasing a foreclosure or bank-owned home in Phoenix may, arguably, allow you to buy the best home for the cheapest price. Many lenders currently require a 20% down payment, however, it is still possible to buy a home in Phoenix with low down payment, even if the home can't be financed with a FHA home mortgage.
With HomePath Financing, it is possible to take advantage of today's low interest rates and affordable home prices in Phoenix, while still benefiting from a reasonable down payment. You can purchase a home, which is owned by mortgage giant Fannie Mae, for as little as 3% down. Fannie Mae currently owns many homes taken over through the foreclosure process in Arizona. These homes can be financed through a new HomePath®program, specifically for Fannie Mae REO properties. This program is exclusively offered through David Krushinsky of AmeriFirst Financial, Inc. Listed below are some of the highlights of the HomePath Mortgage.

"Borrowers purchasing a 2nd home or investment property with maximum 75% LTV/CLTV can own up to 10 financed properties"
Fo rizzle? I did NOT know that. Could be the reason why there are no investor bids for 30 days on Fannie props.
Hmm, interesting!
