Quick Real Estate Tips
Why buy?
While renting only gives you a temporary place to stay, Ownership allows you to
build equity. Pride in ownership can also be financially rewarding as existing
home prices rose an average of 4% per year between 1980 and 1992.
Home equity
Recent increases in property values have left many homeowners with more equity
than they may realize.
Refinance?
With interest rates the lowest they've been in years; it may pay to refinance
your home.
If you refinance at 7%, you could realize a net monthly savings in as little as
two years if your current interest rate is 9% or more.
Fix rate mortgage
The 30-year fixed rate is the most common type of mortgage loan.
Also available in a 15-year version, your monthly payment remains the same over
the life of the loan.
Adjustable rate mortgage
Popular during times of high interest rates, these loans tie your flexible
interest rate to the prime-lending rate set by the government.
