Reply to comment by ProspectiveHomeBuye in Buying a house next year, what’s a reasonable budget for mortgage payment? by ProspectiveHomeBuye

You can't take a loan from your parents for a down payment on a house and get a regular mortgage. If you lie and say it was a gift when it is really a loan that is mortgage fraud.

Gotcha, I am definitely not planning on committing fraud. That’s why I’m asking questions here.

If your parents would gift you some money you could put 20% down and avoid PMI, pay less in interest because you are borrowing less. Your payments would be more affordable.
