Jinxin Real Estate News: Can I apply for a loan with a small down payment? sure. Most people need to take out a loan to buy a house, so the buyer has to put up part of his own money as a down payment. Generally, buyers put down a down payment of 5%-20%. If it is a government-subsidized low-interest loan (FHA Loan), the down payment can be as low as 3.5%. If it is a VA Loan, the down payment can be waived. For general government loans, as long as the borrower saves enough for a down payment of 5%. Many people put down 20% to avoid paying mortgage insurance, because bank regulations require that if the loan amount exceeds 80% of the purchase price of the house, mortgage insurance must be purchased. For this reason, there is a workaround to get rid of this meaningless insurance, which is to apply for another loan. The first loan is 80%, and the second loan (Second Trust) plus the down payment totals 20%. This solves the problem. Of course, the interest rate of the second loan (also called the second loan) is relatively high, about 7.0%-9.5%. This is what you refer to as "paying extra money". In fact, it is not much more. It is less than paying loan insurance, and it is more flexible. Of course, this requires a premise: when housing prices rise and interest rates fall, it is possible to apply for a refinance.
