Your state may have a program that will cut you a break on interest. NJ has one. I used it when I bought my home in 1997. I believe I saved about a half percent. There may or may not be some kind of maximum income to qualify.

You can also do things like take money out of a Roth IRA to use as a down payment.

Other than that, prepare to be bent over on the closing costs. Don't worry everyone does that and they only use a medium sized stick.
