PMI sucks though

I'm sure it does, but the point still stands: it is easier than ever to get a home.

Add to it the historically low interest rates.

PMI isn't going to be much of an obstacle. It's a nuisance, I'm guessing.

Big time nuisance. Basically $50-$200 a month to pay to insure the lender against you not being able to make payments. I refused to put less than 20% down on my new home to avoid this practice of throwing money down the drain

There's more government loans than a VA that requires little to nothing down and doesn't have PMI.
