Buying a Townhouse

If you’re in the market for a townhouse, Priva Mortgage has the perfect loan programs to help you achieve your homeownership dreams. A townhouse can be a great starter home or the perfect family home for busy professionals who don’t have time for exterior work.

Townhomes give you a little more freedom than condos, but you still have a homeowner’s association to deal with, which can make financing a little more complicated but Priva Mortgage can help

What Down Payment is Required to Buy a Townhouse?

Just like when you buy a house, you can put down as little as 3% on a townhouse with conventional financing or 3.5% with FHA financing. You are always welcome to make a larger down payment though. This can help you get qualified for even better loan terms

If you put down less than 20% on a conventional loan, you’ll pay Private Mortgage Insurance but only until you owe less than 80% of the home’s value.
