Down payment

Does anyone know if it is feasible to still get financing putting 5% down? I'm just looking at options to start with as little money as possible. Thanks!

@Leon Keeling If you are buying an owner occupy, then you can get in with 5% down or less. If this occupy home needs a rehab, there is also a rehab loan+mortgage option.

If you own a primary single family, but willing to rent out - you can still buy a new owner occupy multifamily with 5% given that you are willing to wait one year.

If you are purely buying non-owner occupy, the requirement is solidly 20-25% as mentioned by @Jimmy S. , unless you can find seller finance.

Vote for me if you like the answer - click vote on the top right side.

Thanks,
