Is it a good idea to take out a loan for a $10K down payment?
If I wanted to make a $200k purchase as a first time homebuyer with the intention to house hack, would it be smart or even doable to take out a loan for the down payment as well as the mortgage? The reason being that the time it would take to save for the down payment would take a while and I would like to get something as soon as possible. Thoughts?
