question how much do we need to put down with a 780 credit score?
Hi there, We have an investment property in Boston, MA which is carrying a mortage. We're currently renting in rockville, md and are hoping to buy a primary residence here. Will it be diffficult to get a mortgage with 10% down? We both have credit scores in the high 780 range. Thanks for your input! by alanstienervich from Rockville, Maryland. Oct 9th 2009

Depends on debt ratio. If that's good you should not have any problems

After considering your question, I believe the answer is yes. It seems that you have made good financial decisions. If all the numbers come in good, the only other thing you will need is a letter of explanation. That is often required when you are purchasing a primary home and you currently have a property.

You could run into a snag you need to have 70% equity in the house you are using as a investment home if that home is upside down or higher than 70% Loan to Value the new home you are buying might have to be treated as a investment home as well even if your going to live in it. They are trying to keep people from running away from a home that might be upside down and buying a new one so this is something new that people don't think of.
