My boyfriend and I would like to buy a house. We have no money down. We are looking between 130k-190k. We want to roll this into obviously a 100% financing mortgage, including closing costs. I am not sure for this finance amount how much PMI would be. I would like to avoid PMI and maybe get an 80/20 loan. The thing is...in 3 years my boyfriend will have his bosses job, which ups his salary quite a bit. I was thinking if we took the 80/20, once he got that job we could pay the 20% part off rather quickly, then be left with the 80%. Is this a good idea? Or is the PMI a much simpler way? How much does doing the 80/20 up the rate? I need some suggestions!
