Down Payments Conventional loans typically ask for at least 20 percent down, but there are low - down payment options (for example, FHA loans only require a 3.5 percent down payment); however, agents must remind buyers that any loans with less than 20 percent down require private mortgage insurance (PMI), for which they must budget an additional 0.3 percent to 1.5 percent of
the original loan amount per year.
