Stop waiting for a 20% down payment! Oregon & Washington Realtor Brandon King explains why the "20% rule" is a myth and how much cash you actually need to buy a home in 2026.

Saving for a massive down payment is the biggest barrier to homeownership today. While some gurus suggest waiting, the reality for first-time home buyers in the Pacific Northwest involves 3% conventional loans or even 0% down VA and USDA options. In 2026's market, waiting years to save $100k often costs you more in price appreciation than you'll ever save in interest.

We break down the math on a $500,000 home, comparing 5% vs. 20% down to show how leverage builds equity. Beyond the down payment, we cover Portland metro closing costs (typically 2-3%), specialty inspections, and why the "seasoning" of your funds matters for a smooth 60-day paper trail during the underwriting process.

Learn how to use 401k loans, family gifts, and seller credits to secure your property without being "house rich and cash poor." Don't let outdated advice stop your progress. Whether you're in Portland, Vancouver, or Salem, this strategy is built for the current PNW inventory shift.
