SANTA ANA, Calif., May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A national survey by Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC (Carrington) and OnePoll found that 64% of Millennial respondents think their biggest obstacle to buying a home was a sufficient down payment. Despite available capital being a hurdle, the survey conducted in April 2015 of 2,000 Millennials found that 55% plan to purchase a home within two years, a statistic that may have been triggered by the reduction in mortgage insurance premiums (MIPs) announced on January 8 by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
