Renting, Mortgage Rates & 3 Year Averages

Are you still waiting for rates to drop?

So have you been saying to yourself for years "I am going to wait until the interest rates drop.". Well about 5 years later - here you are still renting. Meanwhile your rent goes up to cover your landlord's mortgage. OR have you been saying "I'd love to get a rental property, but it may not be worth it." Well look at these stats - get someone to cover the mortgage for you & you could end up with a home paid off entirely by renters! For the last 3 years the average mortgage rate is in the mid 6's. Meanwhile rent went up soo much - it was like you had your interest rate tripled! The average rent went up $800 in 3 years. That is $266.67 a year raise. While mortgage rates have stayed basically the same. If you want to look into obtaining a rental property OR buying a home & not renting - let's talk and get a gameplan together. Your gameplan could be now or in the future. But it is never too soon to have the conversation. And if you are military - let's talk about how the military could basically give you a free home! #LetsTalk #MortgageRates #StayInformed
