House hacking with 20% down??

[Nat Love]

So I was wondering, if I had the equity to put 20% down on a house to house hack, wouldn’t that be better than putting 3.5% down?

@Nat Love You could and avoid paying PMI, but at the cost of a way larger down payment. The idea is that you can use that extra money as reserves or find another property to invest in. You could even put it in an index fund and let it grow overtime instead of having it tied up in the property.
