When it comes to purchasing a home, lenders like to see that the
homebuyer has a downpayment. Homebuyers with a downpayment
even get offered more favorable interest rates and better loan terms.
A sufficient downpayment has many benefits, the most important is not
having to purchase private mortgage insurance. If you borrow more
than 80 percent of your home’s value, lenders require you to purchase
private mortgage insurance (PMI).
A 20% downpayment will keep you from incurring additional costs for
PMI. If you lack a cash, one of the below programs may assist you with
attaining a sufficient downpayment.
