Can the down payment on a house come out of the home loan if you only have a small amount to put down yourself?

Yes, let's say you have a down payment of 8%. You would take out a mortgage for 80% of the value of the home. You would then take out either a second mortgage or home equity loan for 12% of the value of the home. You avoid paying PMI, but your second loan is usually a 15 year loan with a flexible interest rate of prime + 1.5 so your monthly payment will vary depending on where prime is. There are other ways, such as an FHA loan as well.
Another possibility depending on the relationship between buyer and seller.
You can do a "sellers held back 2nd mortgage". A sellers 2nd is basically just like any other 2nd mortgage but it is held by the person selling the property, it's a lien like any other mortgage against the home. The buyer and seller set up a payment plan for a 3 of years and interest rate and it is included in the sales contract. This benefits people with poor credit who can't obtain enough financing, say you need 90% but you only qualify for 80%. Then you can get that extra 10% through a sellers 2nd. The seller ofcourse must agree to it and the bank must also ofcourse allow sellers seconds.
The other option is a "Gift Of Equity".
A GOE can be done between family members, it's like a sellers second except you don't pay back the GOE.
The example is basically, you need 90% you qualify for 70%. The seller gives you 20% of the equity of the home as a gift, so on a 100,000 dollar home it works like this. They are not lowering the sales price, the price stays at 100,000 but they give you 20,000 as a gift of equity. So while you only qualified for 70,000 from the bank that gift of equity has now given you the ability to purchase the home without laying out anything about your 10%.
The catch is that this can only be done between blood relatives.

What are the terms of an interest only mortgage Is it equivalent to a 30-year fixed with additional principal payments?
With an interest only mortgage, the borrower pays only the interest due on the money that is borrowed. There is no money allotted in the payment amount that is reducing the principle. Interest only mortgages therefore have much lower payments but can result in negative amortization. 30-year fixed rate mortgages have money (albeit a very small amount to begin with) figured into the payment which is paying off the principle from the very first payment. Making additional payments toward the principle not only reduces the total amount of the loan, but also the amount of the total interest that will be paid to the lender. The amount of the payment may be much higher, but the result is equity (ownership). An interest only loan never leads to equity other than appreciation.

If you pay an extra amount over your car payment every month Will it cut the payoff time?
In most cases, yes. If its a simple-intrest loan which most are now then if you pay extra over your min payment or you pay maybe twice in a month, they will subtract that money off the principal amount and you save intrest! That could end up in hundreds of dollars for a small amount. But check with your bank, I know of some that will just add that money toward your next payment. Sometimes your need to let them know how to treat that money.
