Why a Blog?

Every day, we receive valuable information on the mortgage industry, and thought we'd share it with you!

We'll keep you abreast of the best mortgage rates available, along with current rate specials (the "hot" deals!). We'll also keep you informed of any mortgage trends, stats, and any new general information. We trust you will find your visit here informative!

So here goes . . .

Today, most lenders have since reduced their amortizations to 35 years and no longer provide 100% financing. Well, it just so happens that we do have a few lenders still accepting applications for the Zero Down Mortgage and willing to approve a 40 year amortization up until October 13, 2008.

This product is great for those now ready to buy, but just haven't saved for the downpayment yet. The longer amortization is also helpful if debt servicing is a bit tight for what you wish to buy. You can always increase your mortgage payment later, as most lenders allow a payment increase of up to 15% to 20% without penalty each year, which will ultimately reduce your amortization.

Stay tuned for more to come! Have a great day!
