Down Payment in the Mail
Federal Government Providing DownPayments?
With the Economic Stimulus Package checks being mailed out, many potential home buyers may be getting the down payment they needed to buy a home! And if you ask me, you can’t find a better use for the money!
The checks being sent out can be quite large. Most people will get $600, with married couples getting $1,200. Each dependent child will get $300 more. So the average family of 4 can stand to get a check for $1,800! A family of 5 will see a check of $2,100!
This can go a long way towards buying a home. On a $100,000 started home, a 3% down payment is only $3,000. With $1,800 coming from the government, you only need $1,200 in cash to buy your home! And with the check coming from the US Dept of Treasury, you won’t have to worry about “seasoning” the funds. (Seasoned funds are funds that you have had for at least 60 days.)
So when you are thinking about what to do with that big check from Uncle Sam, seriously consider putting it somewhere that will make a real difference in your family’s life… A home of your own.
