The idea of buying a home with no down payment sounds too good to be true.  But such a thing does exist, particularly for veterans under the housing assistance program backed by the federal Department of Veterans Affairs, the VA.

Veterans United Home Loans tracks the numbers.  Chris Birk from VAHL visits with details.
