Temporary Rate Buydown

 In uncategorized

Elite Financial Mortgage offers Temporary Rate Buydowns to help borrowers lower their interest rate for the first 12 to 36 months of their mortgage. 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

What? Seller concessions can be used to pay the upfront fee with a seller-paid temporary rate buydown. A lender-paid LLPA option can be used to cover the buydown cost on a lender-paid temporary rate buydown. 

Who?  Borrowers who have seller concessions or would like to have a lower interest rate in the beginning of their mortgage for a lower monthly payment. The borrower must qualify with the initial note rate.
