Frequently Asked Questions

What is a typical down payment percentage?

Conventional loans often require 5-20%, FHA loans as low as 3.5%, and VA/USDA loans can allow 0% down for eligible borrowers.

Does a higher down payment percentage always help?

Yes, generally. A higher percentage reduces your loan amount, may eliminate PMI, and can secure a better interest rate.

How is the loan amount calculated?

Loan amount equals the home purchase price minus your down payment amount.
