The math ⬇️
Most first-time buyers need 3% down for their loan.
Plus another ~3% for closing costs.
That means you’ll need around 6% minimum saved (shown in this example).
Our best advice: Talk to a local lender about your options - it's completely free to do so, even if you're a few years out from buying. We can provide recommendations!
*Disclaimer - monthly payments will vary based on several factors. It's important to speak with a lender to know your numbers. This post is for example purposes only.
