Uncle Sam is Your New Best Friend!

If you have a job, $7,000 and good credit and are renting, pay close attention.

A typical $200,000 house will rent for something around $2,000 per month, plus or minus.

If you can buy at these low interest rates, check out these numbers.

Sales Price: $200,000, FHA financing

Down Payment: $7,000

Insurance: $72.38 per month

Real Estate Taxes: $208.33 per month

Mortgage Insurance: $184.96 per month

Principal and Interest: $902.75

Total Payment: $1,368.42

And you are renting?? These numbers are based on an interest rate of 3.75%

If your rent is $2,000 a month, you can save over $600 per month if you buy it plus deduct the interest on your taxes!

These numbers are for demonstration purposes only. These numbers are not a quote for lending purposes. See your lender for actual figures.

What this demonstrates is Uncle Sam may be your new best friend!
