Lower mortgage payments reduce the barriers to home ownership and can help potential homebuyers qualify for a new home that may better fit your family.   If you’ve been renting and waiting for your chance, this makes now a great time to get in the new home market! ![LandonMaxwell view 2 - June 14-2019 1600x1000](https://blog.rohithomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/LandonMaxwell%20view%202%20-%20June%2014-2019%201600x1000.jpg?width=810&name=LandonMaxwell%20view%202%20-%20June%2014-2019%201600x1000.jpg) Here's a simple example. Say you want to purchase this $350,000 designer duplex. With a 5 year fixed term, 5% deposit and 25 year amortization, here's what your monthly payments could be like.   - *Monthly payment at 2.75% = $1531* - ***Monthly payment at 0.99% = $1251\**** To find out how much you qualify for, get in touch with your mortgage professional to work out the details. You can also contact one of our team members and we'll refer you to one of our preferred lenders.   \* Home price includes applicable taxes. Default mortgage insurance is required for purchases with less than a 20% deposit. Actual monthly amount may vary. Consult your mortgage professional for details.   --- **Browse, Chat, Buy** From the comfort and safety of your home, Rohit has more ways than ever for you to connect with us and start your search! - Browse: As you browse our website, don’t forget to check out the virtual tours that bring our showhomes and models to life.
