How Much Money Do I Need to Put Down?
The answer will depend on your individual circumstances. It is a good idea to talk to a mortgage lender to get an accurate estimate of how much money you need to put down.
Benefits of a Larger Down Payment
- There are several benefits to making a larger down payment on a home. A larger down payment can:
- Lower your monthly mortgage payments.
- Reduce the amount of interest you pay over the life of your loan.
- Eliminate the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI)
- Increase your chances of getting approved for a mortgage.
- If you are thinking about buying a home, it is important to start saving for a down payment. The more money you can save, the better off you will be in the long run.
