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. 

You have many loan 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.

Waterstone also offers a special loan product that doesn’t require any money down and allows you to buy up to $650,000. It’s a portfolio product that they keep in-house, but they’d love to share it with anyone looking to buy a home.
