How to Rock Rising Mortgage Rates!!!

  

 

No doubt about it, since 2022 got underway, mortgage rates have been on a stairway higher and that makes it harder for our buyers to qualify for a mortgage on one hand and even when they do qualify, it puts additional strain on their household budget on the other.

 

So how can buyers and owners keep their rate and payment as low as possible despite rising interest rates?  In this short video, I cover three classic ways to "fight the Fed:"

 

  1. Paying discount points.
  2. Choosing an ARM over a fixed rate loan.
  3. Considering an interest-only mortgage program.

 

Wanna buy a home this year but not end up "house poor?"  Let's wind on down the road of some of the most effective strategies.

 

Really makes me wonder,

Good morning Rob. Discount points were a fact of life when I entered real estate in the early 70's. They supported the Savings & Loan industry and rates were below 8%. Those were the days. Defaults low and more people qualified. Enjoy your day.

Agree with others as the old expression goes there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Good morning Rob,

Great post on a very hot topic right now. I'm so glad Carol Williams featured your post in her Second Chance Saturday Series. There are strategies that can be followed that can still make it possible for buyers to purchase a home. We just have to think out side the box more!

Every buyer's situation is different, and it is so important that they evaluate and educate before making the largest investment in their life -- buying a home.  Great information Rob Spinosa ... and THANK YOU for sharing!

Great strategies for home buyers looking to finance a home.  Having all of their options to make the best informed decision is a must in today's rising interest rate housing market. 

Great guitar picks and excellent video content!  I watched the entire video :)
