I know this is probably some kind of a joke or just a fucked up mind daydreaming in this shithole but here is a little advice.
First off a down payment depends on how much the bank or a lender feels the place you are buying is worth.
Second you will have to learn to deal with your bank or lender as they will want you to put as much money down as you have saved which is not what you want to do. You will want to put as little down as you can and finance the rest. Keep this in mind, you can get loans now at pretty low rates. I know you will have your money in the savings account at the bank where they are making about 7-8% interest off your money while paying you 1 1/2-2%. But when you learn to move your money to a safe mutual fund or stock investment you will be earning 5-6% interest. So hopefully this will make sense to you (which I doubt) but anyhow. You can get a loan on your condo for probably around 3-4% interest and you can get a return from interest on your money for say 5-6 %. Now do you understand why you only want to put as little down as you have to? If not then do what you want. Because this is just chipping off a little piece of the iceberg in the world you are trying to live in financially.

Your best course of action is to marry a guy and have him take care of this kind of stuff. No offence but you seem like way too much of a halfwit to handle real estate deals. You'll be taken for a ride, and not the kind you're used to.

You might as well have just spent your time walking her through the Reimann Hypothesis in Greek. Her math isn't good enough to know her net income and you're telling her how interest rates work.

Yea I figured as much but I felt I had to say something with all the asinine answers she was getting. Hopefully she will seek help in this matter. I hate to see people get fucked by these financial companies.

Hopefully your slope friend will have some experience in these matters. I do find that hard to believe since you come into a shithole like this looking for financial help in the first place.

Doesn't mean he knows anything about how to borrow and buy property. Him being a doctor means he has the money to piss away, remember you don't!
