payment is dependent on a number of factors and you can generally reduce it to even 5% by going for mortgage insurance. FHA and VA loans (i.e. mortgage insurances through FHA and VA) reduce the down payment requirement on loan even further. Whatever you borrow from the mortgage lender as loan needs to be paid back to the mortgage lender over a period of time (and, of course, you will also need to pay appropriate interest on that loan). The tenure of your loan and the prevailing market rate will determine the amount of interest you pay for your loan. Generally, you are required to pay back the loan in the form of monthly instalments which are composed of both interest and principal portions of your loan. Also, there are various types of loans e.g. fixed interest rate loans and adjustable interest rate loans. So depending on what type of loan you have gone for, your monthly payments might either remain constant (fixed rate) for the full tenure of the loan or keep getting adjusted periodically (adjustable rate) on the basis of a financial index. Besides that, some other costs are also associated with loans e.g. there are closing costs, inspection costs, attorney fee etc. Also, in case the property needs some repairs, there will be costs associated with that too. Again, there is stamp duty and other taxes that you need to pay. So, really, you need to understand the concept of loans and the related costs clearly before you actually go for the loan. And understanding these concepts is really not that tough.
