FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS TACKLE 20% DOWNThere are many challenges when you’re a first time homebuyer. One of the most common obstacles to homeownership is saving enough for a down payment.

How much of a down payment do you need? A smart rule of thumb is to aim for 20 percent down and here are the top reasons why:

• Improved chance you will actually get themortgage.

• A Smaller Monthly Mortgage Payment• A Lower Interest Rate = You Pay Less Over Life of

Loan

• Build Equity Instantly

Saving for the down payment can be overwhelming. At MTC Federal, we recommend that you break it down into small, reasonable moves, that may take a while to accomplish but you might be able to save enough to afford a home sooner than you expected.

USE THESE NON-TRADITIONAL AND OUT-OF-THE BOX METHODS TO GET THE CASH YOU NEED FOR YOUR NEW NEST.

Automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings can help to make the process mandatoryand maybe a little less painful.

Save raises and bonuses rather than spending them.

Set aside tax refunds.

Snag a few bucks here and there. Got a checking account a few bucks over a round number? Take theextra and transfer it to savings.

Keep the car and save the payment. Paid off your car? Resist the urge to buy new and save themonthly payment.

Getting Married? Skip the gift registry, instead ask for “money for the house.”

Ask parents for help. If you receive a loan from family or friends, draw up specific repayment terms, and ifyou receive a gift, keep in mind that parents can give up to $13,000 annually to their children without having to pay gift taxes.

IF YOU’RE READY TO MAKE THE MOVE INTO YOUR FIRST HOME, LET US HELP YOU EVALUATE THE BEST PLAN FOR YOUR GUARANTEED BETTER MORTGAGE. APPLY NOW
