Home short term mortgage loan

Short term mortgages are mortgage you won't keep me around that long. Only for six months to five years.

Why are short terms special? A mortgage loan with a short term, can give you a lower rate than other home types of mortgage loans. And lower rates are soooo terrific!

With a lower rate from your short term mortgage, you can get a bigger home or multi home real estate. Lower rates can give you monthly home mortgage loan payments that equal your current rent payments. They can also let you get bigger houses or multi-residential real estate to rent out so you make more money. Cha-ching!

When you use this mortgage-type for debt consolidation, your short term can give you a home mortgage loan rate that's way lower than your current credit card or loan rates.

Searching for equity take-out? The lower rate this mortgage's "short term-ness" provides can give you more cash out of your home or multi-residential real estate.

Seeking a line of credit using a short term mortgage loan? You can get a home mortgage loan rate that's way lower than bank rates for your line of credit.
