Can I Buy a Home With No Money Down?
A Game-Changer for Homebuyers and Real Estate Agents
One of the most common questions we hear today is: “Can I buy a home with no money down?” For many buyers, the down payment and closing costs are the biggest barriers to homeownership. For real estate agents, these obstacles often mean stalled transactions or buyers who simply can’t move forward.
There’s now a powerful solution that benefits both homebuyers and agents: a no-money-down home-buying program that includes solar installed at the close of escrow.
Here’s how it works.
When a buyer purchases a home, solar is installed at or immediately after the close of escrow. That solar system increases the appraised value of the home. The lender then uses that added value to pay for the solar system and, in many cases, cover some or all of the buyer’s closing costs—all from the loan proceeds after the seller receives their full purchase price.

For buyers asking, “Can I buy a home with no money down?”, this structure can make the answer yes—without side loans, leases, or hidden obligations.
But here’s where real estate agents should really pay attention...
Unlike traditional solar transactions, the solar is paid off in escrow. That means:
- ❌ No solar loan
- ❌ No solar lease
- ❌ No lien on the property
This eliminates one of the biggest reasons agents have historically disliked solar: complicated resale issues. There is no loan to assume, no lease to transfer, and no last-minute negotiations with solar companies when the home sells.
From an agent’s perspective, this makes the home more valuable, easier to sell, and more attractive to future buyers. From a buyer’s perspective, they get a home with lower monthly energy costs and no additional debt tied to the solar.
If you’re a real estate agent working with buyers trying to buy a home with no money down, or a homebuyer wondering if it’s possible in today’s market, this approach is worth a closer look.
