I believe anything under 80% falls in that category...thats one of the reason for an 80-20 instead of 100%

uhhh no. there is ceiling for none jumbo loans. in 2000 it was 280K currently it's 320K or more.

Currently a jumbo mortgage loan is a purchase or refinance loan that exceeds $333,700 for a single-family home.

yeah usually they wont finance over 80% in some areas. Bank of America for homes in CA they wont finance over 95% of the value of the home.

I've got about $3900 in stocks right now (which I think I will be liquidating soon), and ~$500 in money market savings. I dumped a chunk of change into the S&P 500 back in '02 when it was at like 7-something, so I've done pretty well.

Now the more pertinent question should be: How much do you have in CC bills right now? To which the answer would be: considerably more than I have saved h:

:edit:im 23... I was financially responsible (although very poor) throughout college, graduated and spent A LOT in a few months.

Lots of lenders do 100% but the interest rates kind of suck.............what most people do is do a 1st and a silent second to get 100% so they get a decent rate on their 1st and a not terrible rate on their 2nd, right now the going rate on a 2nd is around 7.5% i think.

it's easier to save when you live with parents. but even condos here cost 350k, so i got a ways go to.
What REIT are you investing in?
