SAVE BIG ON YOUR NEXT MORTGAGE!

With the cost of housing rising faster than incomes, renters and homeowners alike are looking for ways to keep costs down.

Right now, may be the perfect time to take control of your housing costs by buying your

own home, refinancing your current home, or accessing your home equity!

With proper planning and a few smart strategies, you may be able to reduce your monthly

payments and cut the overall cost of home ownership.

Maximize Your Down Payment

If you borrow more than 80% of the value of your home, lenders will typically make you

carry Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

To determine the home price, you can afford without PMI, multiply the down payment

amount you have saved by five. This will give you the highest price you can pay while

avoiding PMI.

For example, if you have $20,000 available for a down payment, that will give you a

home price of $100,000.

If you don’t have the recommended 20% down payment available, there are still

good options.

Many lenders have low rates with no PMI needed with as little as 5% down payment.

Make Extra Payments

If you can afford to, add more to your mortgage payment each month.

Just a few extra dollars each month really accelerates your loan pay down.

You’ll be amazed at how much you’ll save in interest. By paying extra, you’ll build home equity faster too!
