Borrower Benefits:

Lower Monthly Payments: During the temporary reduction period, enjoy making lesser monthly mortgage payments which can help ease you into your full mortgage payment once the temporary reduction period is over. 

Less Total Interest: Compared to a fixed mortgage, the temporary buydown mortgage reduces the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan. You are not expected to pay back any difference between your monthly mortgage payments paid during and after the temporary reduction period.
