On this episode of The Loans Elevated Podcast, Broch speaks about paying up front costs to lower your mortgage payment – and why you shouldn’t! Broch shares some examples of these upfront sunken costs or fees as being discount fees to lower your rate and upfront mortgage insurance to eliminate that out of your monthly mortgage payments. Broch explains why these aren’t the best thing for you in the long run. Broch states that statistics show that every US home owner changes their mortgage every three to seven years and every US home owner moves their home every seven years. Broch talks about how these upfront costs are only valuable to you as long as you live in the home – if you move or change your mortgage all that money is gone. Broch has done the math for this episode and takes us through a great, real life example of why you shouldn’t pay fees to lower your mortgage payment.

On this episode of the Loans Elevated Podcast, Broch talks about the cost of waiting and just how costly it can be.

Real estate should be viewed as a long term investment and it’s not something which the market can be timed on, despite rates being at a high right now. Broch runs us through his calculations which finds that a $600k purchase price, with 20% down would be $2650/month. Data from April 2022 suggests that anticipates Saltlake metropolitan area will appreciate by 15.8%, meaning the same $600k property $694,800, meaning you would pay $2535/month, if the rates slid 30%. Buying now and refinancing in a year would be the optimal way to go. Broch calculates the net cost of waiting is $113,760.  Don’t Wait!

On this episode of The Loans Elevated Podcast, Broch speaks about why a lower down payment is better. Broch explains how a lot of clients are under the impression that if they save up a lot of money and put it all down on a house it will help them save money, pay off their home faster and think it’s the best place for their money – which is incorrect. Broch states that putting less money down and leveraging at a higher level can make a lot more sense over time. Broch reminds you that the advice and opinions expressed throughout this episode are his and other may have differing opinions. Broch shares some examples of how you can achieve optimal results from a low down payment using two different home examples.
