Who has 120k lying around for a down payment?
That's "only" (checks average income in the U.S.) 2 years of average income in the U.S.
Oh, and that's $120K after tax
Someone selling a home they already own. I know thats not helpful to most, but thats the only realistic way to have 120k sitting around
