If you're interested in buying a condo, I'd love to help. I've lived in Bellingham for 30+ years. <br/><br/>As for your question, the amount down is up to the lender, not the seller. Some lenders are conservative, while other lenders&nbsp;are liberal. The lender will look at the whole picture, including but not limited to:&nbsp;job time, credit score, equity in your current residence, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>Please let me know if you need anything. My phone number is 360-961-0796.<br/><br/>Jacob Baklund<br/><a href="http://www.jaybaklund.com/" rel="nofollow">www.jaybaklund.com</a> Fri, 19 Dec 2008 21:41:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Is-15-down-a-requirement-for-a-second-home/179143/ 2008-12-19T21:41:00Z
