Difficult. Yes, harder now than before–that’s why there are all the foreclosures. Frequently peolpe without a down payment aren’t good credit risks and shouldn’t be buying a home–that’s why the foreclosure rate is climbing. Start saving, putting money aside. You need a down payment even with the good credit and stable employment record.
