Do you need 20% down to buy a home?

If you think you need to save a 20% down payment to buy a house, you may feel like you’ll never get your dream home. Good news! Some loans require as little as 3% or even zero down!

Whatever amount you want to save, remember that the key to any habit is consistency. Direct deposit a small amount of every paycheck to a savings account, or designate “found” money (rebates, bonuses, tax refunds) to your long-term goal. What savings tricks have you found helpful?
