The Payment Advantage and Payment Advantage Plus programs are a promotional offer from 11/10/2022 to 06/30/2025. The Payment Advantage program is a promotional primary purchase offer on a Conventional 1-year lender-paid temporary buydown. The Payment Advantage Plus program requires seller participation to provide a seller incentive to temporarily reduce the rate by 2% for the first year. The lender promotional offer will temporarily reduce the rate by 1% for either the first or second year of the conventional mortgage on conforming and high balance loan limits. The lender and seller-paid credit will fund the buydown escrow account, and the funds will be dispersed out of the buydown escrow account during the first 12 or 24 months of the loan.

All loans subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice. Always consult an accountant or tax advisor for full eligibility requirements on tax deduction.
