When The Same Loan Amount Equals Different Payments

If you are out shopping for a home then you will want to watch this video. Let’s just say you have a Pre-Approval for $500k and are doing 20% down. Loan amount of $400k.

In this video, I explain how the same loan amount can equal much different monthly payment amounts.

You can watch the FULL VIDEO HERE ...

 

Here is a short test case.

1st $500k house. Built in 1926, in a flood zone, roof is 20 years old, has a pool, 2 floors, wood frame and is nowhere near a fire hydrant. You can imagine how much the flood and homeowners insurance will cost on that house.

In Florida that flood would be between $3k-$7k and the homeowners would be the same or more.

2nd $500k house. Brand new construction. 3/2 no pool and not in a flood zone. Insurance companies love this house!

Flood is zero and homeowners would be less than a $1K

You are looking at a swing of $6k-$15k a year or more between the two houses.

Just keep an eye on this and I go into more detail with the video.
