I am 33 and hoping to buy my first house within the next few months. I am in a position to put a significant down payment on the house (probably around 30%) as I have quite a bit in savings. Should I put less down (around 20% to avoid PMI) and invest the rest (after saving some for my emergency fund) or should I put as much down as I can? I already contribute to a 401K and I have a mutual fund account as well as a Roth IRA that I have had for years. My dilemma is I don't know if 5 years from now that I will be living and working in the area. I plan to do travel nursing one day after I gain experience in my new profession.
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am just trying to find out what the best course is.
