Detailed explanation-1: -A down payment is a sum of money that a buyer pays in the early stages of purchasing an expensive good or service. The down payment represents a portion of the total purchase price, and the buyer will often take out a loan to finance the remainder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lenders usually require you to pay at least 20% of the property’s purchase price as down payment. Several lenders accept less than 20% as a down payment as long as you pre-qualify for the loan. So negotiate this rate or opt for a lender who doesn’t require you to make a high down payment.
