buy: A good news for Buyers who cannot make a 20% Down Payment
- 01/02/14 04:51 AM
Here is a very good news for Buyers who cannot make a 20% Down Payment particularly on Jumbo loans. With most lenders requiring 20% Down Payment, the small lenders have become aggressive to offer less Down Payment. Here is the link to read along - http://realtormag.realtor.org/daily-news/2014/01/02/lower-down-payment-requirements-for-jumbo-loans#.UsXLG4EJkLI.facebook Also, I know a big Lender which is offering a 3% Down Payment to First-Time Homebuyers but offered only on some preferred areas. I hope I could be of help to these Buyers. Happy New Year!
