I never understood why you shouldn't buy a house unless your planning on staying 5-10 years and have a 20% down payment. But now I do! Without a 20% down payment you will pay over 100k more in the long run (interest/fees, etc.) but most houses won't accumulate 100k in value until at least 5-10 years.
