thats why i said "these days" meaning 2016 when ever he copped there were ways around PMI with out putting 20 percent down. that was before the mortgage collapse.
hes probobly not savvy, but that dont mean he didnt have someone advising him that was.
Nah I feel you, back then I think some condos only required 10%, or he could have just gotten a HELOC for the other 10% and avoided PMI, which is what I did. I just figured he should have been able to drop 20%, but then again he may have bought the house in the 1st half of 2005 before he was getting that "Whistle Song" show money.
