Stop Paying your Landlords Mortgage

Do you know it could cost you more to Rent than to Own? I’m not making this up. It’s a fact!

Most renters shy away from owning their own home because they assume that they need to have a big down payment and lot of cash up front in order to buy a home. That isn’t true.

There are several mortgage programs that will let you buy a home with little or no money down Florida Bond, FHA and VA loans to name a few.

Now’s a great time to buy because mortgage rates are very low.

Renting vs. Owning let’s take a quick look at the cost. Let’s say your current rent is $1500.00 a month.

You purchase a home for $250,000 you put down 3.5% and obtain a FHA 30 year fixed rate mortgage with an interest rate of 3.5% your monthly principal and interest payment would be $1083.00, private mortgage insurance is $101.00, estimated monthly property taxes $150.00, estimated home owners insurance $75.00 that adds that up $1409.00 per month. You just saved yourself $81.00 a month and you now own a Home.

Since mortgage rates are low, I would suggest starting the process sooner than later, the best way to get started is by talking with a local lender, if you don’t have a lender that you know or trust I can give you the names of several good lenders to talk with.
