I'm here to answer allyour mortgage questions

  • Do I need to save for a 20% down payment?

    No! With FHA loans you can get approved for as little as 3.5% down, VA and USDA loans can offer you $0-down options, and with Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) you can get into your new home with less than a 20% down payment. Whatever your situation, you have options.

  • Are Pre-Qualification and Pre-Approval the same thing?

    No. Pre-qualification and pre-approval are two different things. Pre-qualification means that a mortgage lender has reviewed your financial records and believes you will qualify for a loan. A pre-approval is a conditional committment from a lender that they will lend you the money for a mortgage.

  • What's the difference between an adjustable and a fixed rate mortgage?

    A fixed rate mortgage means that the interest rate is set when you take out the loan and will not change. With an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest rate may go up or down after a certain amount of time. Many adjustable rate mortgages will start at a lower interest rate than fixed rate mortgages.

  • What is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)?

    Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is a type of insurance you may be required to pay if you are taking out a conventional mortgage with a downpayment that is less than 20% of the home's overall value. If you refinance your home with a conventional loan and your equity is less than 20% of the home's value, you may also be required to pay PMI. Private Mortgage Insurance protects the lender in the event that you stop making payments on your loan.

  • Can I access my home equity before I finish paying off my loan?

    Yes! Your mortgage advisor can help you find the right refinance and reverse mortgage options to help you access your home equity before you've finished paying off your loan. This can help with covering the cost of remodels, college tuition, long-term care plans, and more! Talk to your mortgage advisor to find out how you can access your home equity to cover any of your life's needs.

  • What do I do if I can't afford my mortgage payment anymore?

    The first thing you should do in the event that you can't afford your mortgage payments anymore is reach out to your lender. An experienced mortgage advisor can help you find options, such as refinancing or restructuring your loan, to help you keep up with your payments. Always reach out to your lender to ensure that you can keep up with your payments and stay in your home.

Home Purchase Benefits
52,729.09

Is it financially better to buy a home or to rent? The answer to this question depends upon how much the home costs, how much you are paying for rent, and how much you will have to pay each year in order to maintain your home.

If you were to pay 800.00 per month, for example, and the average rental payment increase was 4.00, you would pay 51,996.70 in a 5 year period toward rent. If you purchased a home and borrowed 250,000.00 with a 6.50 interest rate, and you paid 900.00 every year toward its maintenance, you would pay 125,872.72 in a 5 year period toward mortgage payments if your Federal tax rate is 26.00, you pay 3,000.00 in taxes each year and your annual insurance rate is 1,500.00.

When you consider your tax benefits and the appreciation of your home, however, you will actually SAVE money by purchasing a home. If your home shows an annual appreciation of 5.00 and your selling cost is 7.00, your house appreciation value will be 382,884.47. As a result, your total home purchase benefit will amount to 52,729.09.
