In celebration of National Homeownership Month the USDA’s Acting State Director for Michigan announced the top 10 rural development lenders in Michigan. We are proud to say that again for 2016 Amerifirst Home Mortgage is number one! In fact Amerifirst had a 16% market share for the program in 2016. The second lender on the list pulled a mere 5.7% market share. Simply put Amerifirst dominated the Michigan market with this program!
The Rural Development program gives home buyers the opportunity to purchase a home with no money down. If you would like more info on the program or to find out what area’s qualify for the program check out RD Area Maps or give Jeremy a call at 269-488-9494.
Yesterday, a buyer called me in a total panic. They locked in their mortgage interest rate 30 days ago while shopping for a home near the Westwood neighborhood. Everything moved along fine until the seller asked to push closing back by ten days to finish clearing out their garage.
The buyer asked me, “Jeremy, if our rate lock expires before we close, will our interest rate jump up? Will our monthly payment go through the roof?”
I told them straight up: “Take a deep breath! An expiring rate lock will not ruin your deal, and you will not lose your low rate!”
Are you under contract on a home with an expiring rate lock? Need a rate lock extension?
