    There are a couple of ways to get a zero-down mortgage without paying PMI. The best way is on a conforming loan where you split your mortgage to an 80/20. That means that you have a first and a second mortgage with 80% on the first mortgage (this keeps you from paying PMI) and 20% on your second mortgage. Doing things, this way will also make your payment cheaper vs. a 100% loan with PMI. The other way to avoid paying PMI is to go with a non-conforming loan and lender. Non-conforming loans generally do not have PMI regardless of the loan to value ratio. The draw back to going non-conforming is that most lenders have a prepayment penalty.
