🏡 WAIT….DO I REALLY NEED 20% DOWN TO BUY A HOUSE?
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear about buying a home is:
“I need 20% down before I can buy.”
🚨That is NOT always true.
Depending on the loan program and qualifications, there may be options that require far less than 20% down.
here’s something else many future homeowners don’t realize:
💰 Down payment isn’t the only number we need to talk about.
Before you decide, you’re not ready, you should understand:
🔑What loan programs you may qualify for
🔑 How much cash you actually need
🔑 what your estimated monthly payment could look like
🔑 What down payment or closing cost assistance may be available
🔑 What steps you should take NOW if you’re not quite ready
You don’t need to have everything figured out before talking to a Realtor or Lender.
That’s what I’m here for.
If buying a “Home” has been on your mind, comment, “Home” or DM me “Home” and let’s talk about what realistically look like for YOU. 🏡🔑
