What products are eligible for a Temporary Rate Buydown?
The cost will equal the difference in monthly payments between the buydown rate and the note rate for the years the buydown is in place (1-3 years).
How much do Temporary Rate Buydowns cost?
Primary and second home.
What occupancy/loan purposes are eligible at CrossCountry Mortgage?
While every situation is different, if a borrower is not planning on being in the loan long term, a Temporary Rate Buydown may be more beneficial. If the borrower is planning to retain the loan long term, permanently buying down the interest rate may be a better option.
Is it a better option to buy the rate down for the life of the loan rather than use a Temporary Rate Buydown?
Yes, the borrower will be required to sign a Temporary Rate Buydown Agreement prior to closing.
Does the borrower have to sign additional documents when choosing a Temporary Rate Buydown?
Yes, of course! Should you decide to refinance during the buydown period, CrossCountry Mortgage will refinance your loan at no cost to you!
Can I refinance during the buydown period?
