Actually, it could be possible to buy a home with an interest free loan. Typically, this would be a loan from someone like a parent, that buys it for you and agrees to apply all of your repayments to them toward the principal. Another variation I once saw was the buyer put half down. The 'loan' had a ten-year balloon with no interest. At the ten-year mark, the property was to be appraised and the 'Lender" got 100% of his initial loan amount back and 75% of difference between the original appraisal and the new appraisal. The 'lender' got the right to pick the appraiser. I don't think this would be legal today.
