-10 Ways to Ascertain a Down Payment-

You just found the home of your dreams, but you need more money or you can't have it. Major problem, however here are ten surefire methods for ascertaining a larger down payment, and getting that home.



  • 1. Receive a tax-free gift -From your parents, lovers, or anyone who will; documented by a “gift letter” stating that you do not need to repay the debt. This move effectively raises your down payment without increasing your debt load figured into your original pre-approval.

  • 2. Borrow Against a Life Insurance Policy – Insured collateral for the lender.

  • 3. Borrow Against Stocks and Bonds- Avoid the capital gains, used for collateral.

  • 4. Borrow Against a Company Pension Plan – If you remove the money there are usually penalties and taxes.

  • 5. Cash in a Retirement Savings Plan – You may have to pay penalties

  • 6. Ask Current Employer for Cash Advance- This can usually be asked for in lieu of next years raise, sick time, or vacation time.

  • 7. Advance on Future Inheritance- Don't Make Grandma Mad

  • 8. Use your own Business as Collateral- Default on your loan = Lender owns a business. Only works for businesses with positive cash flow and financial statements.

  • 9. Team Up With Cosigners- Trade equity in your home for signers. The more standup folks you can get to sign on the dotted line the more a lender will trust you too!

  • 10. Sell Personal Possessions- Usually the last option. However, cars, diamonds, antiques, collectibles, and jewelry can fetch enough money to boost your down payment.
