How much do you really need to put down on a house? For a lot of people, it's way less than they think.

Travis Wright here, with eXp Realty. We'd love to buy, but we'll never save up a big down payment. Here's the good news. Most buyers don't put down anywhere near that much.

There are loans with small down payments, and some with none at all, depending on your situation. And with help on closing costs, the cash you need to get the keys can shrink a lot.

The right answer depends on you. Your income, your credit, and how long you plan to stay. So the first step is just finding out what you qualify for. Saving a huge down payment first is a lot like a New Year's resolution. Great idea, rarely happens.

Reply with the word DOWN, and I'll help you figure out how much cash you'd really need.
