Arabi has great schools, top-rated restaurants, and St Bernard Parish Ochsner Hospital is just a few minutes away. Local lenders offer 100% financing on this home through USDA Rural Development and LA State bond programs. A 2/1 rate buy-down is a financing option where the seller or lender pays to temporarily reduce the buyer's mortgage interest rate for the first two years of the loan. Typically, the interest rate is reduced by 2% in the first year and 1% in the second year, returning to the original rate in the third year. This lowers monthly payments initially, making homeownership more affordable during the early years of the mortgage. Owner is also willing to finance with 10% down.
