Sean La Rue's Weekly Rate Update

Hey Team,

Happy Friday!  See this week’s rate sheet .

**News Update**

FHA announced earlier this week that starting in April the monthly mortgage insurance will be increased again.  It was changed from 0.55% to the current rate of 0.90% of the loan amount and will be 1.15% starting in April.  I have attached the announcement from HUD with this email for you to reference.

Did you know that if you put 10% down on an FHA loan and you do a 15 year term there is no mortgage insurance? 

Leverage my experience, knowledge and platform at Franklin Loan Center to get your clients approved and loans funded fast!!

Make it a great day!

Realtor Safety

Thanks to Holly Lovas for presenting Safety Tips for Realtors at today's 212 Tuesday. The 3-day weekend is coming up and I know many of you are doing Open Houses, so here are some quick tips to stay safe on the streets.

1. Be in sight of people approaching the house.
2. Put a cow bell or jingle bell on the front door so if you don't have eyes on the door, you can hear people come in.
3. Use your instincts; they are the best defense mechanism we have. We humans tend to approach danger rather than move away from it. MOVE AWAY FROM DANGER.
4. Take a few extra seconds to know your escape route if danger approaches; in some cases it may mean leaving the house.
5. Take a flashlight with you in case you are working a home that has no utilities. It gets dark here early!
6. Carry pepper spray on your keys and have them in your hand when approaching your vehicle.
7. A whistle can work wonders.
8. Park your vehicle under a light.
9. Don't be speaking on your phone while walking to your car; you are distracted and not paying as much attention.

Let's be safe out there.
