I mean it takes 10 years to spend that 120k on the mortgage. if he invests 120k in a HYSA he would make about 4-5k a year. id make that extra annual payment to reduce principle and keep the 120k in my pocket

I feel like you really shouldn’t be buying a home if you’re not going to put the 20% down

Keep the 120 in the bank. Don’t buy equity upfront.

Def save the money monthly. Recurring bills are the silent killer.

I’d put 5% down, take the higher payment til closing then put the remaining 15% as an “extra” or “principle” only patient (permitted your loan allows that without penalty). Then eliminate my PMI. When interest rates drop, refinance

well. considering 120k is 120 payments. and a mortgage has 360. ya know. loan amoratization and all is on microsoft excel. yall need to stop acting like you can't see how the interest works. especially the mortgage. cuz this comment should explain why. you buy the bank 2 houses for the cost of your one. you paid for all 3. gotcha.

Never do 20% down, do lowest amount and stay liquid with extra funds and have it work for you HYS or investments, diversification is key in an environment where the landscape of demand steady changes

Depends on what he plans to do with the 120k. If it's sitting in a traditional savings account, it's a bad move. If he's investing it in the stock market and gets an average return of 8% it turns in to 1.21 million in 30 years.

I would put 20% down. I can stay out of escrow and PMI. I would still pay that extra 1k a month to principle. can refinance if rates drop because I have that 20% equity.

Put the 20% down and see what a 15 year mortgage costs vs 5% down. Also, 20% gets you out of paying mortgage insurance.

If you can find an investment with a better return than 1k mo or equivalent then do that otherwise… the answer is right in front of ya

Need more information. How expensive is the PMI, and how fast have properties in the area been appreciating?
Also, what is their income?

5% down, invest the rest. Usually people will refinance down the line. Plus you'll need money to furnish the place 🤣

Always 20% for me. Payment being low as possible monthly allowed me to feel more comfortable

Can you make 12k a year with 120k? Yes, flip vehicles, other properties etc

Probably take the $1k cheaper gives you more room if something goes wrong and $40k will still cover you for almost all emergencies
