Down Payment Myths (You Don’t Need 20%!)

Let’s get this straight: you do not need 20% down to buy a home. That’s an old-school myth that keeps people from even trying.

Here’s the truth:

  • First-time buyer programs often only need 3% to 5% down

  • FHA loans require just 3.5% down

  • VA and USDA loans? $0 down if you qualify

And there are more ways to help:

  • Down payment assistance programs – Some offer $7,500 to $20,000 to help with your purchase.

  • Seller concessions – In today’s market, sellers are often open to helping with closing costs.

  • Grants and forgivable loans – If you meet certain income or location guidelines, there’s free money on the table.

If saving a big down payment has been holding you back, let’s talk. We’ll look at your situation and see which programs you qualify for. You’re closer than you think.
