The quick tip
  • You don't always need a giant down payment. Some loans need less down, and some buyers qualify for assistance programs. A lender can tell you what fits.

  • Your credit doesn't have to be perfect. Pull your free reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and dispute any errors before you apply.

  • You may not have to wait out your lease. And yes, you will own a plunger. Probably two.

Myth four, you have to become handy. Okay, that one's partly true. You will own a plunger. Probably two.
