3.5% Down For First Property Good Idea?
Is it a good strategy to get an FHA loan for your first property and put down the minimum 3.5% down payment just to get into the property? Or should I wait longer and save more of a larger down payment (5,10,20%)?
I plan to live in my first property for 5-7 years.
