In this video you'll learn how a 2/1 buydown works, the pros and cons, and who and who should not use a 2/1 buydown when buying a home. A 2/1 buydown is a mortgage agreement that provides for a 2% lower interest rate for the first year of the loan, a 1% higher rate for the second year, and then the full rate for the third and later years. In a 2/1 buydown, the interest rate will increase from one year to the next until it settles into its permanent rate in year three. To make up for the interest that they won’t be receiving in those early years, lenders will charge an additional fee. This fee is paid for by the seller into a "buydown subsidy account" This helps you as a home buyer afford a larger mortgage and also buys some time while waiting for rates to get lower. But as with all things, make sure you can afford it in the end, not just during the buydown period. ------------------------------------------ Help me get closer to my GOAL of helping 100 Families EVERY YEAR buy their first home here in California!
