If you’re looking for ways to reduce monthly payments without waiting for rates to change, a temporary buydown may be worth exploring.

Take advantage of Waterstone Mortgage’s Smart Start buydown, and enjoy a competitive rate without the wait.

With Smart Start, you can receive a lender-paid 1-year interest rate buydown — meaning your interest rate will be 1% LOWER than the rate you lock in for the first year of your mortgage, covered by Waterstone Mortgage.

More Homes, Better Prices: A Buyer’s Summer

If you’ve thought about buying a home in the past few years, you may have run into two frustrations: asking prices that kept climbing and too few homes to choose from.

Buyers often ask, "How can I afford a home with today's rates?" The answer may involve financing strategies many people don't realize are available.

Affordable homeownership isn't always about finding a less expensive house or waiting for interest rates to drop.

It can also mean taking advantage of programs designed to reduce your upfront costs or monthly payments.

Some buyers may qualify for:
1️⃣ Down payment assistance
2️⃣ No-down-payment loan programs
3️⃣ Temporary interest rate buydowns

You built the business. You deserve a mortgage solution built with you in mind.

Self-employed homebuyers often assume their path to homeownership will be more difficult because their income doesn't fit a traditional mold.

Waterstone Mortgage’s Statement Select loan program was designed to help eligible self-employed homebuyers showcase their financial picture through bank statements, creating additional opportunities to qualify for a home loan.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, consultant, freelancer, or independent contractor, let’s make your next move together.
