    with a 580 FICO you would just qualify for 100% financing for a single family home owner occupied, the rate would not be that great but you could get it done. Your monthly income will also play into how much of a loan you will quailfy for.
    Good Luck,

    Try to forget closing cost put as much money into the equity.

    Ask for a discount on asking price in the form of seller pay all closing. Most deals nation wide lower asking price 5-8% stated by board of realtors. And being that closing cost run 3-4% bingo! Remember all deals are flexable in some degree.

    atlanta is a good market to buy at very favorable terms, or discounted price. with that kind of cash down some may be available even with partly owner financed

    This advice is called "loan fraud". I hope they catch you if you go this route.
