BUYING A HOME? DON’T OVERLOOK THE TRIM NOTICE! 🏡🚨🚨🚨🚨
Florida TRIM notices were mailed out, and if you’re purchasing a home, your lender should review the property’s TRIM notice before closing.
Why?
1️⃣ Your monthly payment - It helps the lender make sure the projected property taxes are accurate and that you’re comfortable with the payment.
2️⃣ Your cash to close - The tax information can also impact your escrow calculations and the amount you’ll need to bring to closing.
⏰ Timing matters! If the TRIM notice shows taxes higher than what was originally estimated, finding that out early gives your lender time to make the necessary adjustments before you’re sitting at the closing table.
⚠️ Especially important with NEW CONSTRUCTION, where the current tax bill may not reflect the taxes once the home is fully assessed.
If you’re buying a home, make sure your lender is reviewing the TRIM notice before closing. It could make a BIG difference! 💰🏡
