Bank of America announced this week that it is starting a mortgage option for first-time home buyers offering no down payments, closing costs or minimum credit scores.

Katrina Campins analyzes the housing market and discusses how rising interest rates are affecting home buying on 'Cavuto: Coast to Coast.'

The program – called the Community Affordable Loan Solution – will be available to people in certain predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods in Charlotte, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles and Miami. There are no limits on the number of loans involved in the program; any property must be located in census tracts that are more than 50% African American or Hispanic, the bank said. "Homeownership strengthens our communities and can help individuals and families to build wealth over time," AJ Barkley, head of neighborhood and community lending for Bank of America, said in a statement.

Little discrimination going on now we will have to bail out another bank seen this before, when they financed homes knowing the people could not pay the note.

As one of the Latinos, i'll be signing up for this. Thank you for the notification Fox.

Sorry Asians, Indians etc... Wrong skin color. You are denied by racist corporate thugs

Discriminating against white people?

Loss leader, with an equity summary score of just 1.5, no one wants to buy this stock. Now we know why.

Equal opportunity lender my ass then

Someone tell me how this is legal and NOT discriminatory, please.

Remember Clinton push this and it was disastrous. People that do not pay anything down have nothing to lose when they walk away. Do some research once in a while

Here we go....

Ohhhhhh TESTS…..great play on words

Isn’t that racist?

What if a bi-racial couple wants to apply for a loan? Does that mean they only have to pay 50% of a down payment? Things that make you go hummm...

Let’s take a peak of 🏡 prices over the last 10 years and interest rates. 👨🏾‍🏫

This has lawsuit written all over it.

Take this down FOX. Lying

FOX should have to answer to this lying headline.

How woke one them

How very racist of bankofamerica

So it only applies to blacks and Latinos? Nothing strange about that. How about just try it on, you know, American's.

With white caps against u BOA TSe dung. HUNTER AND BO RYDER XI JING HANUKKAH CARRIERS PLA NAVY ARMY GAMMA

It’s only discrimination if it’s against black or Hispanic ppl. If it happens against white people it’s equality! Horrible precedent. How about approving people based on the merit of their financial capability and credit history

Good thing I don't bank with them; I would close my account in a second!!

FOX is lying in this headline.

What could possibly go wrong?

Everyone should read the article. Anyone can try and qualify.

Sounds like discrimination to me.

This is deceiving as all heck. You DO NOT have to be black or latino. It’s the neighborhood that the property is predominantly black or latino populated. ... my goodness FOX step it up a notch.

Racist

Oh boy!

Boycott Bank of America-they are racist and do not treat everyone with same standards.

I’m old enough to know that in a normal world this is considered discrimination 🤨

Talk about discrimination…what could go wrong with those loans 😂😂🤪🤪

They tried that 20yrs ago during Fanny Mae /Freddy Mac time. Didn’t work then. And it is racist-blacks/Latinos can’t go by same standards as whites? Been several generations since mid 1960’s where very one had same public schooling and opportunity

Great, don't ask for a bailout when this backfires because your giving to people that can't afford the mortgages in the first place.

Some people didn't learn from last time

Illegal af! This’ll be shut down just as the loan assistance was when only offered to black farmers 🤡

Everybody should self-identify as African-American, apply & then sue BankofAmerica for racism if they get denied.

If that’s not discrimination, I don’t know what is.

Seems a bit racist to me 🤡

Let’s give loans to people that can’t prove the ability to repay. What could go wrong?

Another place to boycott. I don't mind helping out everyone but it should not be racist

Lots of Whiteies who could use that too. Time to switch banks.

This will end well…

This is the subprime mortgage crisis all over again.

that's discrimination!

TrySmallBiz Very discriminating

This couldn’t be more racist.

2008

What? racist

TrySmallBiz Bout the most racist thing possible

Discrimination and Dumb. 2008 all over again. 🔥

Did they forget 2008? Not putting my money there.

Racist mortgage policies are totally illegal.

Loan mortgage forgiveness is next

When my son bought his home, we had more money in our BofA accounts than the cost of the home but did not want to pull out that much cash. We tried to get a $35k loan from them and they rejected us. BofA is a trash bank.

Logic is if you can’t afford the down payment, you’ll be able to make the monthly payment. Another bailout on the horizon

How is that not a violation of the Fair Housing Act?

So BofA refuses to let white people make terrible financial decision, but is more than happy to fk over black and hispanic people.

Isn't this discrimination!

We’ve seen this before, no how this will end. I hope we don’t bail B of A out again this time.

That’s totally racist.

What could go wrong ? No down payment, 0 percent home loans ? 2008 calling. With a touch of a rascism. BoA may be saved from themselves via lawsuits.

This is wrong

Had you over 20 years. Time we depart. I will not support this divide. Your not loaning my money without some money put down for borrowers. Down payments show people are serious. Terrible policy and Brian monihan should be removed now

WOW..... WOKEPITYPARTY IS THE RULING CLASS, America is in SERIOUS TROUBLE ELONMUSK...HURRY UP AND TAKE US TO MARS...

They did buy Country Wide , didn’t they ? One of the worst acquisitions ever. Country Wide offered this !

Didn’t we learn from 2008 with reducing the standards for lending?

I don't care who you are or what race you are...I my self am Mexican. But didn't this type of lending cause the housing bubble to burst in late 2000's?

What about everyone else?

Sounds like discrimination and a repeat of 2008 meltdown errors

Ok where's thw SEC and the DOJ?Crickets.....

Racism!
