BUY YOUR DREAM HOME WITH ONLY 1% DOWN

Hello again everyone! I realize that I wrote an article about this very appealing residential home loan about a year ago, however, it is so good that I felt I had to get the word out again just in case people may have missed it the first time!

In short, a borrower can buy a home with a down payment in the amount of only 1% of the purchase price of the home! This is to say, if you are buying a home for $200,000 and you have cash saved in the amount of $2,000 (1% of the $200,000 purchase price), then you can obtain a mortgage loan for the amount of the balance of $198,000 to purchase the home!  Essentially, for about one month’s rent, you would have enough down payment to to buy a $200,000 home.

HOW IT WORKS – This is a home loan that requires a total of 3% of the amount of the purchase price as a down payment.  Of the 3% total down payment required, the borrower puts 1% down and the lender contributes 2% down which totals the 3% required for the buyer to get the loan to buy the home.  And as if that is not enough good news, this home loan product is offered by the #1 wholesale mortgage lender in the nation. This particular residential mortgage lender offers a convenient, hassle-free loan application process, a fast closing process and, best of all, low interest rates.

In addition, because we are local mortgage loan officers, local to the Bradenton, Sarasota, Florida area, you will have peace of mind knowing you are working face-to-face, in person, with real, live professionals in your community rather than just a voice on a phone from who knows where in the world!

What Is A Reverse Mortgage | Reverse Mortgage Sarasota | Bradenton

What Is A Reverse Mortgage?

If you are like most people, you have probably heard of a reverse mortgage but you are not quite sure what it is or how it works. In this article, I will describe what a reverse mortgage is and try to help you understand how it works.

Simply said, a reverse mortgage is a mortgage loan product available to homeowners who are 62 or older and have equity in their home. The homeowner/borrower gives the lender a lien against their property and the lender pays the homeowner/borrower money to do so. In its most common form, the borrower can take out a lump sum, receive monthly payments or get a line of credit or a combination of monthly payments and a line of credit.

How Does a Reverse Mortgage Work?

The way a reverse mortgage works may be best described by comparing it to how a regular mortgage works. In a regular mortgage, the homeowner/borrower makes payments to the lender over time to pay down the amount borrowed. Each month, a portion of the mortgage payments goes toward paying interest on the loan and part of the payment goes to pay down the principal amount owed on the loan.

In a reverse mortgage, the lender pays the homeowner/borrower. As a general rule, the borrower does not have to pay back the monies he or she has received so long as he or she lives in the home. At the time the borrower dies, moves out or sells the home, the monies advanced by the lender must be repaid. This can generally be done by selling the home. Most reverse mortgages, however, are non-recourse – this means that the homeowner is not personally liable to repay the loan. This also means that the borrower cannot owe more than the value of the home when the loan becomes due. For example, if the heirs want to keep the home rather than sell it, they would not have to pay more than the appraised value of the home at the time the loan becomes due – even if the amount owed on the loan is substantially higher than the value of the home at the time.

Mortgage Rates Are Near All-Time Lows Again!

Remarkably, about 3 years after mortgage rates hit historical lows, they have fallen again to near historical lows! I find this unbelievable! Fortunately for those of you in the market to get a mortgage to buy a home or to refiance your current home loan, this news is unbelievably good!

There are many options available depending on your plans for the future. Mortgage rates on 7 year adjustable rate mortgages are incredibly low, mortgage rates on 30 year fixed rate loans are so low it will bring a huge smile to your face and mortgage rates on 15 year fixed rate mortgages are so low you will feel like skipping down the sidewalk!

Let us use our years and years of experience to help you choose the best mortgage for you. But don’t wait too long, mortgage rates will not stay this low for very long. When they reached historical lows about 3 years ago, they went up from those lows very quickly. They will go up again – it is not a matter of if, but when. Be one of the smart ones who brags to your friends and family for years, maybe even decades, about how low your mortgage rate is on your home.

Thank you for reading this article. We hope you found it helpful and informative. We appreciate the opportunity to be your go-to local mortgage company in the Sarasota and Bradenton areas.

Refinance to a 15 Year Mortgage Rate | Sarasota FL | Bradenton FL

Refinance to a 15 Year Mortgage Rate

IT MAY MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO REFINANCE YOUR MORTGAGE FROM A 30 YEAR FIXED TO A 15 YEAR FIXED

Refinance to a 15 year mortgage rate to pay off the mortgage on your house much earlier and to save yourself a lot of money in Sarasota FL and Bradenton FL!

Well, I am sure you have heard by now that mortgage rates have risen substantially over the past few months. If you missed mortgage rates when they were at their low, it may still make sense for you to refinance. Currently, many lenders are advertising interest rates on a 15 year fixed rate home loan that are nearly one (1) percent lower than the rate on a 30 year fixed rate home loan. As a result, the monthly payment on a 15 year home loan can be around the same amount as the payment on your current 30 year fixed interest rate mortgage loan. For example, on a $100,000 loan amount at an interest rate of 6.25% amortized over 30 years, the principal and interest payment is $615.72. That same loan payment on a 15 year fixed rate mortgage at a 3.5% interest rate is $714.88. That is less than $100 more and your mortgage is paid off in one-half the time – in 15 years rather than in 30 years! That can be a savings of up to around $93,000 over the life of the loan!

So, do not beat yourself up over having missed out on your chance to refinance your home mortgage loan when interest rates were at their lowest. You can still refinance your home loan from a 30 year fixed to a 15 year fixed to pay off your home mortgage much earlier and save yourself a lot of money!

SO YOU MAY HAVE MISSED THE LOWEST INTEREST RATES

Sure, you may be one of the many who have missed the period of the lowest interest rates offered, but rates are still extremely low meaning that mortgage payments are still unbelievably low, in most cases much lower than rent payments, thus, a very smart choice compared to paying rent!

So whether you are thinking about purchasing a home or refinancing, now is still a great time to do so!

For example:

A $180,000 mortgage loan amount at 4% interest on a 30 year fixed mortgage has principal and interest payments of only $859 per month. Add monthly escrows for real estate taxes at $150 per month and homeowners insurance of $150 per month and the total monthly payment is about $1,160 per month. Let’s face it, in today’s rental market, it will probably cost more than that to rent a good home in a good neighborhood. So why rent, when you can own?!

Don’t believe what you may have heard from others and what the media is saying – that there are no mortgage loans available for people that want to buy a home. IT IS SIMPLY UNTRUE – THERE ARE PLENTY OF HOME LOANS AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BUY A HOME.

Please call us today so that we can use our experience and knowledge of the local Sarasota marketplace to guide you through the process of qualifying to buy your home. Don’t go to the big banks and be treated like a number.
