Down payments are so 2014.

Recent HUD rules changes relaxed down payment requirements so we're entering another era of subprime loans that will artificially inflate the market until the next crash. Combined with low interest rates, the Urban Growth Boundary, economic recovery, Intel/Nike expansion and in migration, you might as well get in now with close to zero down and ride the wave.

Edit: Sorry about the linked teaser copy. It originally went to the more informative full story but if you Google the headline it will take you there from first search hit.
