New 'Rate Relief' Mortgage Program Offers Discounted Rates as Low as 4% on Fixed Rate, Zero-Down Home Loans

Atlanta, GA (PRWeb) January 22, 2007 -- Katz Mortgage Team, www.KatzMortgageTeam.net, of Amtrust Mortgage Corporation, is excited to announce a new mortgage program called "Rate Relief," which offers borrowers a discounted interest rate for the first two years of their home loan. This program can be used with a variety of loan products including 15 and 30-year fixed, Interest-Only and Zero-Down loans.

The way this program works is simple. The mortgage payment in years one and two are discounted and calculated at rates 2 percent and 1 percent, respectively, below the borrower's permanent interest rate. For example: If a borrower locks in a market rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage at 6 percent, the borrower would initially pay an interest rate of only 4 percent the first year, 5 percent the second, and 6 percent in years three through 30. The cost of this buydown can be paid for by the seller/builder, or financed. The "Rate Relief" program is the most effective way to reduce expense ratios because the payment reduction is concentrated in the early years of the home loan. The expense ratios used to qualify the borrower are based on the reduced payment made by the borrower in the first month.

"This program is perfect for first time homebuyers and borrowers who need to financially grow into their home, but don't like the uncertainty of adjustable rate mortgages," states Stephen Katz of Katz Mortgage Team. "The average first time home buyer would save $200-$400 each month -- or more -- during the first year of their mortgage, and half as much in the second, depending upon the size of their mortgage." The savings can also be magnified if matched up with an interest-only fixed rate mortgage.

The advantage of the "Rate Relief" mortgage program is obvious for home loan borrowers. Anytime a borrower can lower their initial monthly mortgage payments, they qualify for a higher sales price home. Or, if refinancing an existing mortgage, the borrower would further lower their payments, using this savings to pay off other bills, or to invest in high yield financial instruments. This loan provides home loan borrowers the benefit of a lower start rate, such as an ARM, but with the long-term stability of a fixed rate loan.

Katz further states, "Our new Rate Relief program is just what the doctor ordered for first time homebuyers or any borrower who wants a lower initial mortgage payment. We feel the program meets the needs of many of our customers who want a fixed predictable mortgage payment without the market risk that adjustable carry. It's definitely the best of both worlds."
