Tips to Lower Your Monthly Payment

Increase Your Down Payment

A larger down payment reduces your loan amount and can help you avoid PMI if you put down 20% or more.

Shop for Better Rates

Even a 0.5% difference in interest rate can save you tens of thousands over the life of your loan. Get quotes from multiple lenders.

Consider a Lower-Tax Area

Property taxes vary widely by location. A home in a lower-tax area could save you hundreds per month.

Improve Your Credit Score

A higher credit score can qualify you for lower interest rates, significantly reducing your monthly payment.
