HOUSING AFFORDABILITY HAS BECOME A CHALLENGE FOR MANY BUYERS.
Elevated interest rates have caused mortgage payments to remain at their highest point in over two decades. Meanwhile, rents have also increased dramatically in the past several years. This is putting a squeeze on potential homebuyers. Here are two ideas that can help:

Consider a seller-paid 2-1 buydown. A "Seller-Paid 2-1 Buydown" is where the seller pays a fee at the closing to reduce the interest rate on the buyer's mortgage by 2% in year 1 and 1% in year 2. This results in temporarily lowering the buyer's monthly payment and making the home more affordable for them.
Consider seller-paid points. Points paid by the seller at closing can reduce the buyer's interest rate and monthly payment, making the home more affordable. While a seller-paid 2-1 buydown has a much bigger impact on the buyer's monthly payment in the first two years, seller-paid points may save the buyer more money over the long term.

If you are considering making updates to your home while you own it, first think – what will most increase the property value of my home?

Something as small as repainting the walls before you move, cleaning your carpets, or having an electrical inspection done can help INCREASE ⬆️ your resale value quite a bit.

Let’s BUST a common home buying myth! 🔍

“It is cheaper to rent a home or apartment than to buy your own home.”

While it is true that there are additional expenses associated with buying a home, such as home maintenance and property taxes, homeownership can help you to build EQUITY which is money going into your pockets instead of a landlord’s. 💸💸

CALHFA Dream for All! This is an AMAZING first time buyer program but do you want to know the BEST part? Not only do they provide 20% for your down payment but there is no payment on this amount. I think this is the biggest element that most people advertising this program are missing. Please take a few moments to watch this video to learn how reallocating the funds you would have spent can up and help you become wealthy!

Example used in video:

$1,000,000 Purchase

Traditional Loan with 5% down= $50,000 Needed to be saved

$150,000 that would be added to the loan as not receiving the 20% down payment assistance

Payment would be $998 more per month (principle and Interest http:// assumed rate

Mortgage Insurance would be required $332 estimate

Total payment difference $1,330 Monthly

Now, what if you reallocated those funds into another type of investment (S&P 500, high yield savings account, 401k, College fund for children etc.@5%) for ten years before selling or refinancing.

The savings would add up to nearly $300,000!!! This is why I believe this product can change lives and help people become homeowners today. Reach out to get started today!
