How much money down would i need now to get a home loan?
Heres the thing, my wife and I have 760-780 credit scores and she currently has a barely 6 figure income job that is as secure as anything out there right now. I wonder what is needed because we might want to buy soon and keep as much cash on hand as possible with this economic outlook. We arent rolling in dough because we just finished college.
yes i am on
When applying for a home loan your credit report will be reviewed and you may be required to provide a number of other details, including: Employment and income records, Tax Returns for the last few years List of assets, List of liabilities and what you owe, Your budget showing monthly living expenses so that you can demonstrate an ability to pay.

With this information you and your lender will be able to determine the kind of home loan and size of the right mortgage for you. In some cases, you can obtain a pre-approval or pre-qualified certificate, which shows how much you can borrow so that you can then shop for homes in an appropriate price range.

You will need 10% with your good credit.
If you are first time home buyers you may qualify for an FHA loan.
I think they only require 4% down.
The days of 0% are long gone.
Please get a 30 or 15 year fixed.
Do not get anything with the word variable near it.
Interest rates are about to go up and high in another year or two.
Bankrate.com has great mortgage calculators.
Put 20% down to avoid that nasty PMI.

It would be possible to buy a house with no money down if the owner is willing to accept monthly payments instead of cash (from your mortgage). You could offer 7% interest rate with no money down and a seller might be tempted.
Otherwise i would guess that you are going to put 3.5% down. $3,500 on a $100,000 house..
