These cash back mortgages are tougher to qualify for. You have to have a sparkling application for them to approve you, but essentially no down payment mortgages are still available.

Alternatively, some lenders will lend you the 5% down outright as a 5 year term loan, and then give you a mortgage at the going rate for the rest. If you can service the debt it's likely a better route then paying posted rates on the mortgage for the cashback option.
