NO MONEY DOWN Disaster Loans
Our Clients Are More Than Just a Real Estate Transaction! THEY’RE FAMILIES JUST LIKE OUR OWN!
So many families in the Greater Baton Rouge are suffering from the recent disastrous floods. People have been displaced from their homes and rental properties only to find if they can find another place to lease, the rents have been dramatically increased!
Smart Move Real Estate has teamed up with an actual underwriter for the 100% (no money down) Disaster Relief Home Purchase Loan. This is important because applying for this loan through a middleman (loan broker) may force you to pay a much higher interest rate. This is because a middleman must up-sell the interest rate to make money on the loan. (The interest rates offered by our mortgage underwriter currently start at 3.25%.) To put this in prospective; an estimated payment to purchase a $200,000 home including insurances and tax escrows would be around $1,250 per month. This is with no money down and you may get a one month break from making a payment. (This payment is an example estimate. Your payment can be higher or lower based on variables such as credit score, tax and insurance rates and whether we can get the home seller to contribute to our client’s transaction fees.)
The Experienced Realtors at Smart Move Real Estate have been highly trained in the requirements and nuances that will allow our clients to qualify for this program, find their new home and get to the closing table in the shortest possible time. If you work with a Smart Move Realtor and our mortgage underwriter, you could be moving into your new home in 30 days or less!
NOTE: The Disaster Relief Home Purchase Loan is a niche mortgage product and requires an experienced loan professional who is thoroughly trained in the nuances of this loan program. Smart Move Real Estate refers our clients only to the very best of these loan professionals!
