My boyfriend and I are closing on our first home in a couple of months. We are 27 and 30 years old and putting 20 percent down. I had to live with my parents up until now and my boyfriend lived on pennies, barely eating some days, to pay off his student loans and penny pinched for many years to save up enough.

Haha he is proposing before we have to close. We already picked out the ring. We looked for a house knowing that we would be engaged around the same time. But fair question. I wouldn't have been ok jumping into a huge financial commitment without knowing there was a more concrete future for us.

28: 55K down - rental property now. Depends on a lot of factors from assets to liabilities to type of loan to LO to city to interest rates (lowest ever poised to drop again) to national average (1.08%). Our parents would tell us make sure you can put 20% down, but that was for 200K properties at 16% interest rates Carter years. The only time you need money down is if you can’t cover the spread, but all things can be worked via your LO.
