They will loan you the down payment and closing costs

bad news is that I still cant afford it. Loan payments are reasonable, but adding on insurance, pmi, and property tax payments makes it unaffordable

this is my fault for being born poor I guess.

PMI is a racket

It's always more expensive to be poor

Does PMI differ greatly? I know for us, we put 5% down and the PMI is like $80 or something. While it's not nothing, it's much better than trying to save up the additional 15% to avoid it.

I just dislike it on principle more than anything. It can vary...iirc it's between .5-2% depending on your credit.

In almost every scenario, it better to pay it than to rent. Eventually you can refinance or get an appraisal that shows your house has enough equity to stop it
