PMI is not a death sentence as most make it out to be. Put down 5-10%, and invest the rest. After all, PMI is tax deductible

It's not a big deal. Sure it might add an extra $100-150 to your payment but it's something that the vast majority of first time homeowners will pay.

This is okay advice to someone buying a starter house well within their means, but just too fresh into their career to have a huge savings. However, there are far too many 30-somethings buying 350k houses who should have had a little more discipline to save 20%.
