What are millage rates? The rate that calculates the property tax you pay when you buy a house.

Just in from Fulton Co schools Superintendent, Dr. Mike Looney!

Millage Rate Rollback

“The Board approved a millage rate of 17.08, a reduction from the tentatively approved rate of 17.13 in June, maintaining Fulton County Schools' position as having one of the lowest school millage rates in the metro Atlanta area.”

When deciding where to buy, pay attention to the annual property tax, which not only fluctuates but can change your ability to afford your home over time.

“With this approval, the School Board has either lowered or maintained a flat millage rate for the past seven years. Six of those years saw reductions, continuing their commitment to strong financial stewardship of taxpayer dollars.”

How VA loans can help you buy a home!

VA home loans make it easier for veterans to buy a home, and they’re a great perk for those who qualify. According to the Department of Veteran Affairs, some benefits include:

Options for No Down Payment: Qualified borrowers can often purchase a home with no down payment. That’s a huge weight lifted when you’re trying to save for a home. The Associated Press says:
“. . . about 90% of VA loans are used to purchase a home with no money down.”

Don’t Require Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Many other loans with down payments under 20% require PMI. VA loans do not, which means veterans can save on their monthly housing costs.

Limited Closing Costs: There are limits on the types of closing costs you pay when you qualify for a VA home loan. So, more money stays in your pocket when it’s time to seal the deal.

Owning a home is the American Dream. Veterans give a lot to protect our country, and one way to honor them is by making sure they know about VA home loans. Let me help guide you through the process.

First Time Home Buyer? Here’s a strategy for you!

Buying your first home is a big, exciting step and a major milestone that has the power to improve your life.

As a first-time homebuyer, it’s a dream you can make come true, but there are some hurdles you’ll need to overcome in today’s housing market – specifically the limited supply of homes for sale and ongoing affordability challenges.

So, if you’re ready, willing, and able to buy your first home, here are three tips to help you turn your dream into a reality.

1. Save Money with First-Time Homebuyer Programs paying the initial costs of homeownership, like your down payment and closing costs.

To find out more, talk to your state’s housing authority or check out websites like Down Payment Resource.

2. Expand Your Options by Looking at Condos and Townhomes. These lower-cost homes have historically been a stepping stone for buyers looking for a less expensive alternative to a single-family home.

3. Consider Pooling Your Resources To Buy a Multi-Generational Home

Another way to break into the market is by purchasing a home with friends or loved ones. That way you can split the cost of things like the mortgage and bills, to make it easier to afford a home.
