Curt Kessler: Buyer-Friendly Financing Options When Rates Are Rising
Manage episode 373252287 series 3499311
In this episode, Dave and Curt discuss:
- Buying when it is right for you, not just when it’s a buyer’s market.
- What the current interest rates mean for you.
- Seller buy-downs, 2-1 buy-down mortgages, and assumable mortgages.
- Why you should talk to a mortgage specialist.
Key Takeaways:
- The interest rate on rent is ALWAYS 100%.
- Loans are underwritten based on what you can currently afford and the process is more stringent than it was back before 2008.
- There are more lending options available than most people are aware of.
- Do not buy a boat (or finance furniture or anything else) before the closing. This will throw off your “debt-to-income” numbers and likely affect your interest rate and/or ability to close as planned.
"Be careful. Talk to an advisor - a lender that you are comfortable with and trust." — Curt Kessler
