Wait… What Do UFOs Have to Do with Mortgages?
A recent Wall Street Journal investigation revealed that the U.S. military actually encouraged alien conspiracy theories during the Cold War—on purpose. The idea was to distract people from the real top-secret tech (like stealth bombers) flying over Nevada skies.
Here at ReadySetLoan, we couldn’t help but notice a very Earth-bound parallel: today’s homebuyers are being bombarded with financial myths, confusing signals, and misdirection that also keep people from seeing what’s really out there.
🐽 RSL Piggy Points: Mortgage Myths We’d Like to Abduct
👽 “Now isn’t a good time to buy.”This myth floats around like a UFO sighting in Roswell. The truth? The best time to buy is when you are ready—and that may mean rethinking timing, strategy, or loan type. ReadySetLoan can help decode that.
🛸 “You need 20% down.”False signal alert. Most first-time buyers today qualify with as little as 3% down—or even less with down payment assistance programs (think: Chenoa Fund or HDFConnects).
🌌 “Mortgage rates are too high to buy.”Sure, rates aren’t in the 2% stratosphere anymore—but waiting forever for a "perfect" rate while rent climbs could be the real alien abduction of your wealth-building future.
💫 “It’s impossible to qualify unless you’re perfect on paper.”Nope. Programs exist for buyers with low credit scores, non-traditional income, or limited savings. The trick is knowing where to look—and that’s where we come in.
🧠 RSL Perspective: Myth-Busting Is What We Do
Just like UFO folklore was used to shield stealth aircraft, mortgage myths often hide financial truths. But you deserve the real story—and at ReadySetLoan, we’re committed to pulling back the curtain.
In fact, Neil Caron, Area Sales Manager at CMG Mortgage, put it like this:
🎙️ Neil’s Take:“We see people delay their homeownership journey based on bad info. Just like UFOs, if something sounds mysterious and scary, it usually needs a little demystifying. That’s where we come in—breaking things down with clarity and facts.”
👣 The Truth is Out There (and it might be your new front porch)
So next time you hear someone say “You can’t buy a home right now,” pause and ask: Is that a financial fact—or just another urban legend floating around like a flying saucer?
If you’re ready to find out what’s actually possible in today’s housing market, the best place to land is ReadySetLoan.
