Some conventional loans actually offer slightly better interest rates when buyers put less than 20% down.

Here’s the strategy you may want to consider:

• Buy with 5–15% down
• Lock in the lower interest rate
• After closing, recast the loan

A recast lets you put a lump sum toward the loan later, which can:

• Lower your payment
• Reduce the balance
• Remove mortgage insurance

Every situation is different, but understanding the options can change how buyers approach their purchase.
