Unlocking Homeownership: Why You Don't Need 20% Down Payment
The dream of homeownership often feels distant and unattainable for many, mainly due to the common misconception that you need to put down a whopping 20% as a down payment. But what if we told you that this belief is outdated and far from the reality of the housing market today?
In this video Valerie debunks the myth of the 20% down payment and reveals exciting options for aspiring homeowners. Let’s go ahead and dissect the key points and why they matter to anyone dreaming of owning their own home.
The 20% Down Payment Myth
Valerie highlights a critical issue—misinformation about down payments when buying a home. Many people have been conditioned to believe that a 20% down payment is an absolute requirement for homeownership. This belief has deterred countless individuals and families from taking the leap into the real estate market.
Breaking the Barrier: 3% to 3.5% Down Payments
This is a game-changer. You can actually purchase a home with as little as 3% to 3.5% down. This is a revelation for many who have been diligently saving, thinking they need to accumulate a small fortune before even thinking about owning a home. With these lower down payment options, homeownership becomes significantly more accessible.
100% Financing: It's Possible
But wait, there's more. Valerie hints an even more astonishing possibility—100% financing. This means that, in some cases, you might not need to make any down payment at all. And here's the kicker: it's not exclusive to VA financing, which is typically associated with 0% down. There are other programs available that make the dream of no down payment a reality.
