Scott Strang

This is an actual example of a condo in Woburn that is currently for sale. This shows clearly how the new lower interest rate allows someone to make an offer of $15,000 greater and give them the same monthly payment.

This example shows principal only, the asking price of his condo is $139,900 and the complex is approved for FHA 3.5% down payment financing. The best part is you can get the down payment gifted from a relative and then take the tax credit of $7500 in the spring to pay back the gift. It' like 100% financing.

This condo will pull $1100 all day for rent. So, if they buyer decides to move on, the can easily cover the mortgage payment by renting out. This is a NO BRAIN-ER !!!

There are deals like this out there and buyers must take advantage while rates are still low. For more info on finding these deals e mail me.

Bridgeview Condos in Tyngsborough, FHA approved, high owner occupancy ratio

11-23-08
Scott Strang

This is a great complex. It has a great ownership ratio, it is FHA approved, the condo fee is low you can have a dog, a gas grill on your deck, all units have a washer dryer on the unit as well as new AC units.

Considering renting?? I took the 2 bedroom price of 109K , assumed a 5% down payment FHA loan ($5450.00) and FHA rate of 6.0%. The $992 is about the rental rate for a 2 bedroom in Tygsborough not to mention your tax benefit for interest and taxes paid. YOu can even leverage the new tax credit of $7500 from uncle Sam.

Payment Summary
Principal & Interest: $620.83 PMI: $60.00 Condo/HOA Fees: $212.00 Taxes: $100.00 Total Monthly Payment: $992.83
