Down Payment Basics
A conventional mortgage typically requires 20% down to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). However, many loan programs allow as little as 3-5% down. A larger down payment means lower monthly payments and less interest over the life of the loan.
Saving Tips
Put your down payment savings in a high-yield savings account to earn interest while you save. Automate monthly transfers so you never miss a contribution. Every dollar of interest earned gets you closer to your goal faster.
