Home Buying FAQ
The traditional rule of thumb is a 20% down payment, but the truth is, you don’t need that much to buy a home.
Many loan programs allow you to put down far less:
Conventional loans: as little as 3–5% down
FHA loans: minimum 3.5% down
VA and USDA loans: 0% down (for eligible buyers)
MSHDA loans: up to $10,000 in down payment assistance for first-time buyers
The right amount for you depends on your finances, the loan program you qualify for, and your long-term goals. A larger down payment can lower your monthly payment and sometimes eliminate mortgage insurance, but smaller down payment options can help you become a homeowner sooner without draining your savings.
