BIG News!!!

An example...
Purchase price $1,089,000
10% DOWN

1st loan $729,750
30 year fixed rate at 6.125%

2nd loan $250,000
Equity line Prime + .5%

YES...ONLY 10% DOWN!

Need 700 FICO, and only 30 year fixed rate on the 1st.


I am happy to recommend a few lenders that will work with you through this process. They are people I trust will give you an honest assessment of market rates so you can make a more informed decision about your purchase.

Have a wonderful weekend...we're almost there!

Very sincerely,
Jillian

Why buy a house now? (click here for the article from Realty Times)

Why the media is wrong about today's housing slump...

A sneak peek...
"Right now we have mortgage interest rates three points below historical norms. We have housing inventories five months greater than balanced markets. Combine that with unemployment that is a half percent lower than the recession of 2003, and you have excellent homebuying conditions."

Enjoy the rest of the week!!

My best regards,
Jillian

Lending Ideas to Bring Buyer & Seller Together...

FHA Loans up to $729,000
- Seller can give client a 3% gift for down payment
- Seller can give credit to buyer for all closing costs
- Buyer gets in with NO MONEY DOWN

For example...
Payment scenario assuming a $700,000 purchase price
-30 year fixed rate at 6.25%
-Total payment including taxes, insurance, and PMI = $5200
-Approximate Income Tax savings per month = $1500

For more lending options, I am happy to refer you to a lender that I trust will give you an honest assessment of market rates so you can make a more informed decision about purchasing a home.

Best regards,
Jillian
