An ideal down payment in the eyes of a lender is 20% of the home’s purchase price. By putting down 20%, you don’t have to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI). Putting 20% down can also make you a more attractive borrower. But depending on the price of the home, 20% could be out of reach. In fact, most first-time homebuyers put down less than 10%. FHA loans allow down payments as low as 3.5%. And some Veterans Affairs (VA) mortgages allow for no down payment.
Yes, you definitely can. Having a sound game plan and working with a top real estate professional (yours truly) can help you achieve your goals
