You don’t need 20% to avoid pmi if you have excellent credit and a good broker.

Well, my house I just bought was $800k. I was going to put 20% down. Broker said I could do 10% and the second loan for the remainder would vest in 15 yrs (balloon) for the other 10%. Both rates were the best on the market and I have other investments I want my $ in. Am doubling principal payment on the second.

No pmi.
