@Adam Newman you will want to confirm this with the bank but you can’t take a loan out to borrow for part of the down payment so you’ll need to provide all the funds yourself or have a gift from someone for that which you don’t have.If you have a gift from someone to bridge the 20%, that would be ideal.  

Hi Joshua,It really depends on your situation and your specific needs/wants.

Now that Steve has provided you with the right places to look, you will be even more prepared in your vetting the next time.

I provided gel bait, then exterminator.

Or free up more of your time depending on your goals?
