Putting down 5%. Probably could've done 10%, but didn't want to exhaust that much of my savings. Will be making extra payments to get to 20% as quickly as possible so the PMI goes away, hopefully within the first 3 years.

I hear it's rigged.

people in the pocket of big-Egypt Sherrod try to tear house hunters down. i laugh everytime.

i've noticed that every time that house hunters shows an episode filmed in atlanta, it features an african american couple

The near entirety of overland park housing follows this rule: OP housing = starter house quality x however many SF you need to feel like you've made it in life + hardwood flooring and granite counter tops.
