The advantages of going with a 0 down payment mortgage are significant. The first is time saved: you can skip years of saving and buy a home better suited to your family much sooner than expected, which can be a very important factor depending on your situation. The more measurable benefit is the equity you will acquire through home appreciation and your mortgage payments, which will now be benefitting you instead of your landlord. This amount fluctuates based on home appreciate and how long it would have taken to save a down payment, but it will likely be larger than you think. The cost calculator estimates based on a conservative home appreciation rate of 3%.
