No, the "down payment" is made directly from the buyer to the seller and is on top of the amount loaned by the bank to complete the purchase price.
In a sense, the larger the down payment the smaller the loan that will be needed, so it would "take money off the AMOUNT of the loan", but not have any impact on the repayment of the loaned amount.
For instance, if my down payment is 90 percent of the purchase price, the loan only needs to cover the remaining 10 percent.
Most people borrow money from a bank when they want to buy a house, but they usually do not borrow 100% of the cost of the house. They usually do have some money to apply toward the cost of the house, and that amount is called a down payment. So to buy a house costing $200,000 a person might make a down payment of $50,000 and then borrow the remaining $150,000.
I infer from the wording of your question that you wish to borrow the money for the down payment on a house other than your primary residence. This is a big no-no. It doesn't matter what bank you go to. A down payment is supposed to be the loan-seeker's financial stake in a purchase. There are supposed to be no strings -- that is, liens -- attached to it.
Yep.
You don't ever have to put a down payment down (unless your lender bank requires you to), however 20% of the value usually is the norm. We bought our house with NO down payment.
If you thought that you could not buy a house with no money down, you would be wrong. There are ways to get around paying a down payment for a house if you know where to look. Find a home that has been on the market for a long period of time. The realtor will sometimes not require a down payment just to get the house sold. Homes that are sold by individuals are more likely to not require a down payment.

Some things are - A job, money for down payment and good credit.
You cannot borrow money for a down payment on a house, the only exception is if the loan is secured against an asset, like 401 k, borrowing against a vehicle that's paid for, from relative or friends When the bank loans money for a house, they've calculated that you won't be able to pay back your loan if you take on more debt, and borrowing the down payment is additional debt. If payments aren't made and they have to repossess the house to sell, often it sells for less than it's worth. So they can sell quickly, and a down payment prevents them from having a loss.
5% in NY + about another 5% for closing fees.
Mama gave the rest of the $10,000 from the insurance money, after making the down payment on a house in a white neighborhood, to Walter Lee. That was $6,500.
I would personally put the money into a bank account so he can receive money while he's saving it
During the housing boom, it was easy to buy a house with no money down. However, the disastrous consequences of that have caused lending to be tightened. The best way to buy a house with no down payment in today's market is to purchase a small house and use a loan with large, stable payments. This reduces the risk to the bank, and makes it clear they will get their money back. It is necessary to have good credit as well, so one should repair their credit or cultivate good credit beforehand if they want to buy a house in such a manner.
Absolutely not. You simply took money from the bank and put it in "another" savings place. Basically, only the interest on your mortgage will be a deduction (closing costs and such aren't either, and improvements or repair to your house aren't either again).
