Down Payment Guide Metro Detroit
How much down payment do you really need to buy a home in Metro Detroit
Key Takeaways
How much down payment do you really need to buy a home in Metro Detroit. The old rule was 20 percent but thats no longer true. FHA loans require just 3.5 percent down. Conventional loans can go as low as 3 percent. VA and USDA loans offer zero down for qualified buyers. On a 200000 home thats the difference between 6000 and 40000. But remember a smaller down payment means higher monthly payments and you will pay private mortgage insurance. Call (313) 288-8905 to discuss your options.
