Deep dives
Is 20% down for a home always enough?
The podcast discusses the misconception that a 20% down payment is always sufficient for buying a home. The speaker emphasizes that if putting 20% down would result in housing costs exceeding 25% of gross income, it may indicate that the potential homebuyer is stretching their budget too far. It is suggested that individuals in this situation consider putting more than 20% down or reassess the affordability of the home they are considering.
