      <link>https://www.willieandwillie.com/fit-for-you-financing-what-we-are-looking-forward-to-in-2024</link>
      <description>As a family business we are proud to have our entire family involved in daily operations with boots on the ground! 2024 will be a LIFE BUILT BETTER.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In 2024, Willie and Willie is offering more OPTIONS and OPPORTUNITIES for realtors and buyers!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           To quote Wall Street Journal: “The pandemic was too hot, 2023 was too cold, 2024 won’t be just right but it will be heading in a normalizing direction.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Mortgage Bankers Association predicts by year-end, rates will be 6.1%. Locally, we are hearing reports that the demand for housing will increase this year. The Federal Reserve just announced they intend to have at least 3 rate reductions this year.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Most people believe decreasing interest rates paired with the fact that a lot of people awaiting a new home purchase will cause the housing market to make a big shift.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Get READY. Buyers are preparing to go home shopping!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Fit For You Financing | 9831 Cane Mill Road MAJOR Price Reduction</title>
      <link>https://www.willieandwillie.com/fit-for-you-financing-9831-cane-mill-road-major-price-reduction</link>
      <description>We are excited to offer this 2,298 square foot, new home for $399,000.</description>

           We are excited to offer this 2,298 square foot, new home for $399,000.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           With rising interest rates, Willie and Willie Home Builders want to make new construction more affordable for our clients. In our Cane Mill neighborhood, we are rolling back prices. Tracy, we have 2 homes completed and we are dropping prices significantly. Using our 2-1 rate buydown with these rolled back prices, buyers will be able to save HUNDREDS of dollars on their monthly mortgage note.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A 2-1 interest rate buydown saves the buyer 2 points the first year and 1 point the second year. That is a tremendous savings on a homeowner’s monthly payment. We expect interest rates to settle down by year 3 and plan to get our clients refinanced. This makes home ownership more affordable, more approachable.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Today, we are in the Carolina plan in our Cane Mill neighborhood. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is gorgeous and built on a spacious lot in Denham Springs. This quaint, one street neighborhood was designed to bring neighbors together with its 21 homesites.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are excited to offer this 2,298 square foot, new home for $399,000. Using this new price AND the 2-1 rate buydown, you can achieve a mortgage note that fits your financing budget. Contact us today before this home goes under contract.

      <title>Fit For You Financing: Down Payment Assistance</title>
      <link>https://www.willieandwillie.com/fit-for-you-financing-down-payment-assistance</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Common myths around Down Payment Assistance
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Being able to make a down payment is one of the keys to becoming a homeowner. Unfortunately, there are many myths that keep a lot of potential buyers from realizing they are capable of making a purchase. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h4&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           MYTH 1: You need to put 20% down
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           For years, putting 20% down was considered the golden rule in real estate. Is that still the case?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Most loan programs these days, especially government backed programs like FHA, RD, and VA, only require between zero to 5% for a down payment.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           MYTH 2: Paying PMI is always smarter than making a large down payment
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you put less than 20% down, lenders require that you pay private mortgage insurance – or PMI. This insurance protects them from taking a loss if you end up defaulting on the loan. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you’re not able to save up to make a larger down payment, PMI can be a small price to pay in exchange of becoming a homeowner. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           MYTH 3: Down payment assistance is only for first time home buyers
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           While it is true that many down payment assistance programs are geared toward first time home buyers, that’s not always a requirement. We have “Keys for Service” LHC grant that gives down payment assistance to anyone in the service industry and one doesn’t have to be a first time home buyer.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Fit For You Financing: Private Mortgage Insurance</title>

      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Attention all first-time homebuyers!
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Private Mortgage Insurance – or PMI – lowers the lender’s risk, so buyers can qualify for a higher loan option. Typically, borrowers making a down payment of less than 20% of the purchase price will need to pay for PMI.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The amount of PMI depends on 3 things:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ol&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Down payment value
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Credit rating
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Income
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Once you have gained 20% equity, you may request to end PMI. PMI enables you to purchase a home with as little as 3% down for qualified buyers. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We recently closed on a home for a family in Willie and Willie's Kaden Creek neighborhood. The value of their home increased by $15,000  because as a new neighborhood builds out, home value typically rises. Once this home buyer gains 20% equity – the difference between home value and loan amount – they may request out of PMI.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A buyer may pay PMI upfront in a lump sum, monthly, or subscribe to lender-paid PMI. Contact me to review your PMI lending options.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
