You’ve probably heard me mention ARMs, temporary buydowns, and discount points… but what do they actually mean? 🤔

Here’s the simple version 👇

🔹 ARM (Adjustable-Rate Mortgage)
Your rate is fixed for a certain period, then it can adjust based on the loan terms.

👉 Example: A 5/1 ARM could have a fixed rate for the first 5 years, then adjust annually after that.

Best for: Someone who may sell, refinance, or wants a lower initial payment and understands the future adjustment risk.

🔹 TEMPORARY BUYDOWN
You pay upfront (or the seller contributes) to temporarily reduce your interest rate for the first few years.

👉 Example: With a 2-1 buydown, a 7% note rate could mean:
Year 1 → 5%
Year 2 → 6%
Year 3+ → 7%

The rate reduction is temporary — your actual note rate remains 7%.

Best for: Buyers who want some payment relief while they settle into their new home.

🔹 DISCOUNT POINTS
You pay an upfront fee at closing to permanently reduce your interest rate.

👉 Example: Instead of paying 7%, you might pay points to get a 6.75% rate for the life of the loan (exact pricing varies by loan and market).

Best for: Buyers who plan to keep the mortgage long enough for the monthly savings to make the upfront cost worthwhile.

💡 The BIG takeaway:
An ARM changes how your rate can behave in the future.
A temporary buydown lowers your payment temporarily.
Discount points can lower your rate for the life of the loan.

There isn’t one option that’s best for everyone. The right choice depends on your goals, finances, how long you expect to keep the loan, and what you qualify for.

📲 Want me to run the numbers for YOUR situation?
I’m happy to explain your options without the mortgage jargon.

FIXED RATE vs. ARM… 👀 Which one would YOU choose?

If I told you an ARM could potentially start with a lower rate than a fixed-rate mortgage, would you consider it?

Or does the idea of your rate potentially changing later make you say “NOPE. Give me the fixed!” 😂

Here’s the thing: neither option is automatically “better.”

It depends on:
🏡 How long you plan to keep the home
💰 Your budget
📈 Your comfort level with future payment changes
🎯 Your financial goals
📋 And the specific terms of the loan

And PLEASE don’t choose a mortgage based on the lowest rate you see advertised. 👀

You need to understand what that rate means TODAY… and what could happen TOMORROW.

So I’m curious…

👇 Would you choose FIXED or ARM?

Comment FIXED or ARM below — and if you’re not sure, comment COMPARE and I’ll help you understand the difference.

No pressure. No mortgage jargon. Just helping you understand your options. 🏡💙

🏡 THE JOURNEY TO HOMEOWNERSHIP

A U.S. Investment Opportunity for Foreign Nationals

Looking to invest in U.S. real estate but don’t have U.S. citizenship or permanent residency? You may still have financing options.

Foreign National mortgage programs can help international buyers purchase investment properties in the United States, with qualification guidelines designed specifically for borrowers who may not have traditional U.S. income documentation.

In some cases, qualification can be based primarily on the property’s projected cash flow (DSCR) rather than traditional employment income.

✨ Program Highlights

• No U.S. citizenship or permanent residency required
• 680 minimum credit score when established U.S. credit is available
• Qualification may be based on DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio)
• ACH automatic payment authorization required
• Additional guidelines may apply when purchasing with a U.S. citizen

🏠 Eligible Properties

• Investment properties only
• Owner-occupied properties and second homes are not eligible

Whether you’re an international investor looking to purchase your first U.S. property or expand your real estate portfolio, let’s explore your options.

📲 Call, text, or email me to learn more and see if this type of financing may fit your goals.
