Wells Fargo Rolls Out a NEW Loan Program : Community Development Mortgage Program (CDMP)

The only loan type out there with NO down payment is a USDA loan.  The problem with those loans is:  you can't get a USDA loan in an urban or suburban area.  The next loan up from there requires a 3.5% down payment with a HUGE PMI (mortgage insurance) premium tacked on to it for the life of the loan, often adding $100+ to your monthly bill.  BUT now there is a new loan program out there being rolled out by Wells Fargo.  This is the email I just received from one of my preferred lenders and it reads:
