The short answer is NO.. All conforming loan products have a "Loan to Value" (LTV) and a "Combined Loan to Value" (CLTV) requirement.. For conventional, you need a minimum of 3% down.. regardless of how much the seller is willing to finance you.. however, if the seller is willing to finance you 17% of the purchase price, and you put 3% down, then you can avoid paying monthly mortgage insurance. When you go outside of conforming loan's and venture into Portfolio loans, (Hard money).. then most all of these loan products require a much larger buyer contribution.
