As a homebuyer, what kind of mortgage options are available to you? What kind of down payment should you expect to make?
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to put 20% down to purchase a home. According to Gail Hillman of Waterstone Mortgage, there are many other options out there.

A conventional loan, for instance, only requires you to put 3% down. There are also programs that only require 5%, and another program that requires 15% down without any mortgage insurance. Jumbo loans, too, are available for purchases over $458,000.
