Arbor Move has released a potentially controversial article "Do I Really Need a 20% Down Payment to Buy a Home?", bringing some cause for concern, as the article may upset folks that are saving up to purchase their new home.
The 3 minute article examines the high points and low points of Downpayments when purchasing a home, in the pursuit of providing insight to those who think they may not have enough money saved for new home buyers. In down payment manner though, a certain element of the article is set to spark discontent amongst home buyers.
Below is a portion of the piece, which neatly exemplifies the controversial element:
