What is it and why does the down payment exist?

The initial fee is the amount of money that you must pay in cash, once the credit is requested. It is usually 10% of the total amount. However, this percentage may vary depending on the bank, the real estate agency or the seller. This means that, if the house costs s/200,000, you must pay s/20,000 as a starter. The rest will be financed by the credit that was granted to you and from there your financial obligations (monthly installments) will be only with the bank.
