Why exactly is an out of state lender a bad thing? We are going through Costco to buy a Condo and they work with Lending Tree and Lending Tree referred us to 4 different companies, all of which are outside washington state. can you elaborate? thanks..

It is not necessarily true that you need at least 5% down. To buy property in the United States, out of these 3 things, any 2 will usually do:

1) A stable job, with stable income and a W2 (documentation).

2) Money down

3) Good credit
