With today’s high and shifting mortgage interest rates, many homebuyers are struggling with the challenge of higher monthly payments. To help our clients achieve homeownership more easily, Cheryl’s Team offers a flexible Rate Buydown Program. This plan temporarily lowers your interest rate, making your mortgage payments more manageable, stable, and secure.

Understanding the 3-2-1 Rate Buydown

The “3-2-1 Buydown” is a temporary rate reduction that lowers the interest on your loan for the first few years. Here’s how the savings work:

• Year 1: Your interest rate is reduced by 3%.

• Year 2: Your interest rate is reduced by 2%.

• Year 3: Your interest rate is reduced by 1%.

• Year 4 onwards: The rate returns to the original fixed rate for the remainder of the 30-year term.

This gradual reduction significantly lowers your monthly payments initially, which is perfect for individuals or families on a tight budget. It provides extra financial room to cover expenses like renovations, moving costs, or other living adjustments.

Compatible with Multiple Loan Types

This program is highly versatile and can be applied to many different loan types, including:

• Conventional Loans

• FHA Loans

• VA Loans

• Jumbo Loans

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, self-employed, or a high-net-worth client, you can benefit from this program by adding it to your mortgage structure.

Reduce Payments and Improve Cash Flow

The main benefit of a buydown is the significant reduction in your monthly mortgage payment. For example, on a $600,000 loan with an initial interest rate of 7%, your original monthly payment would be about $3,992.

• In Year 1, with an effective rate of 4%, your monthly payment drops to $2,864.

• This saves you more than $1,100 per month—totaling over $13,500 in the first year alone.

These savings give you greater financial flexibility, helping you navigate inflationary pressures and offering a “win-win” solution for your finances and your new home.

Is This Program Right for You?

The 3-2-1 mortgage program is especially suitable for:

• Young families who expect their income to grow in the coming years.

• Self-employed individuals who are in the early stages of a career or business.

• Real estate investors looking to minimize their initial capital outlay.

• Anyone who wants to buy a home without the burden of high upfront costs.
