Probably to him, it's more like lending out a hammer

I really doubt that he thought of that as much more than you lending out his hammer to a neighbor. I guess he would have felt stupid saying, "Uh, yeah, we have one but I better ask before I let you use it."
If it's ruined, ask him to get you another one of the same quality. Chances are though that it's fine and no worse for wear.

I am interested in buying a home. The banks here want at last 20% down. I am just wondering what other options I have.
Giving/lending should be a choice
I prefer to make the decisions as to what, if any, possessions of mine should be loaned, and to whom. If I'm kept in the dark about it, it feels a lot like theft when I don't know where my stuff is. If I then discover its been spirited out of the house by a loved one, it feels like a betrayal.
The government already takes whatever it deems necessary out of my paycheck so I can be anonomously generous to whoever they deem needy.
It is very, very easy to be generous with other people's money and stuff. Example - next time someone wants to borrow something from me, we'll just come get it from your house. Obviously you won't mind, and I can feel sooo good about myself by helping someone else by handing them YOUR stuff. I'll try really hard to remember to tell you I decided to do that, so you can feel as great about it as I do.
with a hammer....
Be careful - if this was a personal computer and someone who is computer savvy gets a hold of it, your personal info is there for the taking. Passwords, documents, banking info, etc. Just because you deleted your info doesn't mean it is gone off your hard drive. Reformatting and repartitioning do not remove it. There are programs that claim they remove such info. Go to Kim Komando's web site to learn more. The alternative: take out the mother board and then take out the mother board with a hammer!
I used lending tree..good experience
you do have options. If you fill out their form online you will have literally half a dozen banks bugging you giving you loan deals. There are a ton of different options for you. I ended up getting a great deal, no money down, first-time home buyer. I did not take the first deal I was offered either and that would be my suggestion to you. Don't be afraid to tell one bank you've been offered a better rate somewhere else. They will try to beat the other rates if they can to get your business. You will get the best rates and loan for you that way. Good luck to you on your home purchase. I would recommend lending tree definately.
