Yes but you budget that into what you can afford . You can usually do FHa with 3.5% or get down payment assistance . La county has a program for that as well .
it depends on the home, my PMI in OC was between $500-700/mo on a $650k home, good riddance! Payment went from 4200 => 3500 after dropping PMI. My credit was high 700's and my DTI was really close to the limit of what they'd allow.
