*If you’ve locked in a 7.000% interest rate, the 2-1 Buydown Program would allow you to make monthly payments at a 5.000% interest-rate for the entire first year of your mortgage. Then, in year two, your payments would be based on a 6.000% interest rate. Finally, once you hit year three and for the remaining life of your loan, your payments would reflect your originally agreed upon 7.000% interest rate.
