Seller & Lender Buydowns
Pauling Homes Team is not a financial institution, but we work closely with First Class Mortgage as a trusted partner and lender.
Temporary rate buydown to lower a borrower's interest rate at the start of their loan.
Seller-paid 1- year or 2- year buydown options
-
2-1 is a buydown of 2% in the first year and 1% in the second year. By the third year they are at the full rate. For example: if the borrows full rate is 7%, the first year rate would be 5%, the second year rate would be 6% and the third would be 7%.
-
1-0 is a buydown of 1% in the first year. By the second year they are at their full rate. For example: if the borrows full rate is 7%. The first years rate is 6% and the second year is at 7%.
One application and one closing, saving money and time! A one-close construction loan provides funding for the construction costs and also the long-term mortgage when the building is complete. In some cases, it means buyers move quicker since they don't need to wait for a second closing.
