We Understand What You're Going Through
Many aspiring homeowners believe they need 20% down to buy a home, but that is a myth that keeps people renting longer than necessary. The truth is that numerous loan programs allow you to buy a home with as little as 0-3.5% down. While lower down payments may mean mortgage insurance, the cost of waiting to save 20% often exceeds the cost of PMI, especially in appreciating markets.
You do not need 20% to own a home.
