100% financing is problematic mainly because the "owner" has zero incentive to not walk away if the house goes below purchase price even if they could afford to keep up the payments.
This puts the "bank" (read: bank and the investors the bank sold the loans to) in a precarious position, as a slight downturn in the market could result in a large percentage of loans defaulting.
