Not everyone receiving a cash gifts want to make a 20% downpayment, though. Cash gifts are also allowed for low-downpayment mortgages including the FHA purchase mortgage, which requires a 3.5% downpayment; and the Conventional 97 mortgage from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which requires just 3% down.
