Are you dreaming of a new home? Are you interested in building or buying a home that has just been built?

With higher mortgage interest rates and inflation, affordability is challenging. With Armed Forces Bank’s Rate Buydown Program, you can get into a home with a reduced payment for two years. For new home purchases, the builder or seller can contribute to the buydown fee putting a new construction within in reach.

A 2-1 buydown program offers a strategic financial solution for consumers building a new home. This program provides borrowers with temporary mortgage rate reductions during the initial years of the loan term, typically resulting in lower monthly payments early on. Such a structure is particularly helpful for homebuyers who want to build a new residence, as it eases the financial burden during the crucial initial phases of homeownership.

By effectively lowering the upfront costs associated with mortgage payments, a 2-1 buydown program empowers consumers to manage their finances more efficiently, allocate resources towards other aspects of the home-building process, and ultimately achieve their dream of owning a new home with greater ease and financial flexibility.

Why choose a 2/1 buydown program from Armed Forces Bank when buying a home?

  • Market Advantage: Stand out in the competitive real estate market with a home that comes with a 2/1 Buydown Mortgage.
  • Bank Backing: Trust the stability and reliability of Armed Forces Bank to support your home ownership dreams.

How does a 2/1 Buydown work for mortgages?

  • Lower Initial Payments: Enjoy reduced interest rates for the first two years.
  • Budget-Friendly Start: Begin your homeownership journey with manageable mortgage payments.
  • Stability: After the initial period, your interest rate stabilizes for long-term financial predictability.
