Down Payment Requirements
Hello everyone. I'm considering purchasing a property with my sister. She is moving from out of state to be closer to family and we are considering if it's less expensive for her to purchase a place or to rent one. She doesn't have a lot of money to put down, which is why we thought we could apply for the mortgage together. Would we be required to put down 20%, given that this is not an investment property? I'm not sure how the rules change if only one person on the mortgage occupies the property. Any insight is appreciated.

That's great! Just be sure to find a property that works with the increased mortgage!
