Superman's Guide to Becoming a Homeowner: How the SAVE Plan Can Help You Soar

Smaller Payments Bigger Dreams

Hey folks it's your friendly neighborhood Superman here ready to save the day once again! This time it's not from supervillains or alien invasions but from the clutches of student loan debt. That's right the Biden administration has come up with a plan that can cut your monthly payments in half and help you soar towards homeownership. It's called the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan and let me tell you it's a real game changer.

Saving the Day for Homebuyers

You know what they say it's all about that debt to income ratio. And the SAVE plan is here to save the day on that front. By reducing your monthly payments your debt to income ratio will shrink faster than Lex Luthor's hairline. This means you'll have a better chance at getting approved for a mortgage. Not even kryptonite can stop you now!

The Math of Savings

Let's crunch some numbers shall we? Under the SAVE plan your income exempted from payment calculation increases to 225% of the poverty line. That's a lot of zeroes! The first $33,000 of your income won't even be considered when calculating your monthly debt obligations. It's like I'm using my super speed to make your student loan disappear faster than a speeding bullet.

Faster Than a Speeding Payment

Starting in July things get even better. Instead of paying 10% of your discretionary income towards your student debt you'll only have to pay 5% under the SAVE plan. That's right you'll be able to save more money faster than I can fly around the Earth to turn back time. Who needs a phone booth to change into your superhero outfit when you've got the SAVE plan on your side?

A Mortgage Dilemma

Now we have to address the elephant in the room. Some mortgage lenders aren't as super as me and won't consider a $0 monthly student loan payment in their underwriting process. Don't worry I'm fighting for change on this front. We need to make sure everyone gets a fair shot at homeownership regardless of their student loan situation. Together we can make it happen!

Saving for Your Fortress of Solitude

One of the biggest hurdles to homeownership is saving up for a down payment. But fear not my friends because the SAVE plan is here to lend a helping hand. With smaller monthly payments you'll have more cash to squirrel away in your secret hideout fund. Pretty soon you'll have enough for a down payment faster than I can stop a speeding bullet. Just remember with great savings comes great responsibility.
