The general rule of thumb is to put down at least 20% of the purchase price as a down payment. This can help you avoid paying private mortgage insurance (PMI) and can also help you get a lower interest rate. However, some lenders may allow you to put down less than 20%.

PMI stands for private mortgage insurance, which is a type of insurance that protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on the loan. PMI is typically required if the borrower puts down less than 20% of the purchase price as a down payment. The cost of PMI varies depending on the size of the down payment, the loan amount, and the borrower's credit score.
