Martini Mortgage Podcast: the 20 percent myth

the 20 percent myth

Dec 25, 2018

There are many misconceptions about buying a home that are believed to be true…the 35th episode of the Martini Mortgage Podcast with Kevin Martini will look at one of the most common ones that may be holding you back from buying a home today.

SPOILER ALERT: You do not need 20% down to buy a home!

Buyers often overestimate the down payment funds needed to qualify for a home loan. This overestimation is not just done by first-time homebuyers, it is also done by repeat homebuyers.

While many believe that they need at least 20% down to buy their dream homes, they do not realize that there are programs available which allow them to put down as little as 3% with the Martini Mortgage Group at Benchmark Mortgage.

#KEVINMARTINILIVE FACTOID: about 3 out of every 4 first-time homers put less than 20% down to purchase their home.

Right now you can still get an epic mortgage rate and that rate is most likely better than your older brother or sisters interest rate ten years ago…it is most likely lower than the interest rate you parents got twenty years ago and I bet way better than the rate your grandparents received for their mortgage forty years ago.
