ParticipantHow long does it take for you to save $80K?
Before 1996 or earlier, you always have to put 20% down unless with some special government programs. Looks like we are back to the future.

This is misleading. Low-down loans have been around since WAY before 1996.
Private Mortgage Insurance has been around since the late 1950’s (for mortgages with less than 20% down). MGIC was founded in the late 50’s.
FHA has been around since the 1930’s. BY 1938, a house could be purchased with as little as 10% down.

ParticipantWe actually already own a house that has declined in value, so we would be walking away from any equity we built. We have a rapidly growing family and don’t see why we should have to live in a townhouse when we make a quarter million dollars a year. We can actually afford well over an $800k house from a monthly cash flow perspective, but still value things like savings and investing. We also have 20% to put down, but unlike most people, don’t want to liquidate absolutely every asset we have to get into a house.
