Borrowers should understand who is actually providing the financing before closing the sale.
- Multiple financing options. Often thimes, lenders offer a few different options to help borrowers spread payments over time. For example:
- No-interest if paid in within 12 months
- Reduced interest rate
Understand the specific ins and outs of the financing option, how thay affect the monthly payment should fit into the borrower's monthly budget.
- No out-of-pocket cash. Most lenders do not require a down payment to finance a new HVAC system.
