Buying your own place is a big commitment, so follow the golden rules of home buying no matter how large a down payment you’re planning to make.
Consider buying when:
- You're already spending your money on rent instead of putting into equity.
- You won’t clean out your savings to pay for the down payment and closing costs. You’ll still need money left over for maintenance, repairs, and non-housing emergency expenses.
- Your credit score is in good shape. A score of 720 or above in the FICO scoring model will get you the best chance at qualifying for a loan with the lowest interest rates available.
