This was written by a mortgage broker.

2.25% bitches. We ain't goin' nowhere for another 26 years.

[–] nick@midwest.social 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hell yeah brother, 2.2 here. Fuck moving now!

[–] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago

1.53 here. But only for 7 more years before it goes back to whatever the market is.

Damn, how'd you get that sweet deal? Mortgage rates bottomed out at around 2.7% in Q3 2020.

[–] nick@midwest.social 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I put a ton down (the entire sale price of my last house, which I owned outright) on mine to get 2.2. Plus my credit is like 810 or something.

Not bad for a dude who had his house foreclosed on in 2013.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Not bad indeed. I was also completely in the hole in 2013 with 800+ credit ... but didn't have nearly that much to put down, leaving me with a massive 2.8%. Not bad for a HCOL area though.

Not all mortgages are 30-year fixed. Rates are typically lower on 15-year and 10-year terms.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

So he got a 26-year term?

[–] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

15yr at 1.9% Free money.

That might just be the ugliest roof line I've ever seen

This is some Sims 1 roof shit.

Also, the guy who owns this house comes across your comment and goes 😕

The house equivalent of a receding hairline with a comb-over.

[–] cerement@slrpnk.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

big empty attic with awkward beams and spray-in insulation, dust and flocking floating everywhere, a couple cracked 1×6 planks run across the rafters providing a precarious path between the undersized access hatch and the shutoff switch on the side of the HVAC unit …

If you like ugly things, then look up McMansions

I was just thinking not enough of my income goes to bank profits

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Thank God mine's at 3% so I don't have to do this.

Don't refinance Just act like it's financed for 8 percent, use the extra money you saved to pay all except $10 as fast as you can, that way the loan is all but non existent, but the account is still open, so you can then use that loan to pay for other expensive things and investments

This is actually how my uncle (who's a mechanic) bought 2 brand new cars. It's a very clever way of doing things.
