Reach out to one of our experienced mortgage consultants who has the knowledge to show you what this program may look like for you and help you achieve your homebuying goals.

Strategy 2
Instead of taking the lowest rate, you can opt for a rate that will provide a credit to help cover your closing costs! In this example below, you are still saving $281 per month and getting a lender credit of $7,600 to reduce your loan closing costs.

Strategy 3
Use the lender credit to fund a temporary interest rate buydown program!
