Typically, lenders require a down payment of 10-20% of the property\u2019s purchase price. While many home loan options allow for lower down payments, putting down at least 20% can help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) and secure better interest rates.<\/p><p>Understanding your down payment range will allow you to estimate your loan principal, monthly EMIs, and affordability.<\/p><p>A general rule of thumb is the 28% rule, which suggests that your total housing expenses should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income.
