The down payment can be anything from $ 0.00 to whatever you can afford. Your payment will depend on the amount financed and the loan type you are looking for as well as your credit score and documentation type on the mortgage. I am licensed in Georgia and would be happy to go over some of the details of this to determine what will fit with your needs best.
You traditionally needed 20% down. Now, you can get a mortgage if you have good credit for 5% down. You also can get 0% down, but the interest on the mortgage is much higher. If you have less than 20%, you need two loans. The first is for 80%, and that will be about 6% interest. You second loan for 15% willl be much higher, about 8%. The mortgage would be about $ 1800/month, but don’t forget property taxes and insurance. If you do not own 20%, the mortgage company will roll insurance and taxes into a lump monthly payment, called escrow. Taxes and insurance could easily be an extra $ 500-$ 800 per month depending on where you live.
