hink you NEED 20% down to buy a home? Not always.
Here’s a strategy many buyers never think about:
On a $500,000 home, putting 20% down means putting $100,000 into the property right away.
But what if you qualify to put less down, keep more cash in your pocket, and use some of that money to improve the property?
Smart renovations may help increase the value of the home and allow you to build equity faster.
Once you reach the required equity level, you may be able to request PMI removal, depending on your loan program, appraisal, and lender requirements.
Sometimes the smartest move is not putting the most money down. It is using your money strategically.
Before using most of your savings for a down payment, talk with a mortgage professional and compare your options.
