IF I WERE THE BUYER | PART 1: High Street in WHITTIER CA
What if buying a home wasn’t just about negotiating the price, but knowing how to structure the financing?
Today I’m breaking down this $825,000 Whittier home and showing you how I’d approach buying it with:
🏡 Just 3.5% down — $28,875
💰 A potential 4.99% first-year payment rate
🔑 An estimated $5,861 monthly payment, including taxes and insurance!
The strategy? Negotiating seller credits and taking advantage of lender credits to potentially minimize your out-of-pocket closing costs.
