🏡❤️ ASK DONNA: DO YOU REALLY NEED 20% DOWN TO BUY A HOME?
The answer might surprise you! 👀
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear from buyers is that they need to save 20% of the purchase price before they can buy a home.
The truth? You may be able to buy a home with MUCH LESS! 🔑
Here are a few options you might not know about:
🏠 Conventional Loans: Some programs allow qualified buyers to purchase with as little as 3% down.
💰 FHA Loans: Qualified buyers may be eligible for a down payment as low as 3.5%.
❤️ Illinois Down Payment Assistance: Eligible buyers may qualify for programs offering up to $15,000 in assistance toward their home purchase.
🇺🇸 VA & USDA Loans: Qualified buyers may be eligible for financing with NO down payment!
And here's something else I want you to know...
You don't have to figure this all out on your own! There are programs, resources, and financing options that could make homeownership more achievable than you think.
Of course, every buyer's situation is different. Your credit, income, loan program, closing costs, and monthly budget all play a role.
My job is to help you understand your options and connect you with the right professionals so you can make an informed decision. ❤️
