To go from the sale to signing the contract, mayde requires an initial deposit of $2,000. From there, sorry to answer like a politician, but it depends. Sometimes the deposit can be negotiated. Other times, the bank or lending institution requires you to have a certain amount ready for when the build starts. In most cases, a minimum deposit of 10% of the home’s purchase price is required, but you may also be eligible to pay a 5% deposit. Get in touch with us for a more solid (and less politician-y) answer.
