WHAT'S INSIDE

👀 DEAL OF THE WEEK

Starting with something juicy up top -
How you can buy today with a 2.25% interest rate🧃

I know you miss the pandemic era interest rates. What if I said - you can buy a house at today’s prices with pandemic interest rates.

Intrigued?

The answer is assumable loans. 

An assumable mortgage allows a buyer to assume the existing rate, repayment period and current principal balance of the seller’s existing mortgage.

You will need to compensate the seller for the amount of the mortgage they’ve paid off. This can be done as part of your down payment or you can finance it with another loan.

Take a look at this Lakeway gem with a 2.25% assumable rate

What exactly does 2.25% mean to you? Check it out -

$700,000 is lifetime interest savings

$2,000 reduction in payments per month
