In this episode, I talk with Stephanie Sacco of Michigan Power Brokers and Ray Nouhan III of Allen Edwin Homes about how first-time homebuyers and investors can benefit from using builder credits to lower their interest rates through a 2-1 buy-down strategy. This approach can cut your mortgage rate by up to 2% in the first year, saving you hundreds each month.
We’ll walk you through how it works and explain why this is a game-changer for anyone looking to make their home purchase more affordable.
