Smart Strategies to Lower Your Mortgage Payment
1. Increase Your Down Payment
Put down 20% or more to avoid PMI and potentially get better interest rates.
2. Improve Your Credit Score
A score above 740 typically gets the best rates. Even 20 points can make a difference.
3. Shop Multiple Lenders
Rate shopping within 45 days counts as one credit inquiry. Compare at least 3-5 lenders.
4. Consider Buying Points
Paying points upfront can lower your rate by 0.25% per point, saving money long-term.
5. Make Biweekly Payments
Splitting monthly payments in half and paying biweekly results in 13 full payments per year.
