4 Ways to Escape the Rental TrapNew Home Buyers Have More

They decided to pass on making a purchase earlier in their lives for reasons ranging from unstable job security to high mortgage rates. Whether justified or not, Geoff and Kristi kept making excuses for not pulling the trigger on a new-home purchase. They had no idea of the opportunity they were missing to start building their personal wealth through home ownership.
As time moved on and their family grew, they knew they finally needed to make that move to build some equity and have something to show for the money they were dishing out just to keep a roof over their heads.
“A lot of people have been misinformed, resulting in becoming content to live as renters,” says Joe Puthur, President of Mortgage Coach (www.mortgagecoach.com). “Families have been missing out on opportunities because of lack of knowledge. With today’s mortgage options, people can achieve affordable home ownership wherever they want to live.”
Puthur offers first-time home owners the following insight to help find the right mortgage:
A mortgage is not a typical loan, it is a financial instrument enabling wealth creation and access to affordable home ownership. Interest rates on a quality mortgage continue to be below 5% regardless of program. Considering this time in 1997 rates were often over 9%, this is one of the most favorable times in history to buy a home, an opportunity no one should miss.
“It is not complicated to escape the rental trap, own the perfect home and start building equity toward a better future,” Puthur says. “Homebuyers just need a trusted mortgage professional who can help them make an effective, informed and confident decision. After all, the perfect home is not only where they will make memories, it is a key contributor for growing their family’s wealth and financial security over time.”
