Frequently Asked Questions
How much down payment do I really need to buy a home?
While 20% down eliminates Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), conventional mortgages often allow as little as 3% to 5% down for first-time buyers, and FHA loans permit 3.5% down. However, lower down payments increase monthly mortgage payments and require ongoing mortgage insurance premiums.
What are closing costs and how much do they typically cost?
Closing costs cover loan origination fees, appraisal expenses, title insurance, attorney fees, and prepaid property taxes and insurance escrow. They generally total between 2% and 4% of the purchase price on top of your down payment.
Is my savings balance or target home price saved on external servers?
No. All down payment formulas and savings goal timelines compute locally in your browser memory with zero remote transmission or telemetry storage.
