Loan Programs

Which mortgage program fits your situation?

Not all mortgages are created equal, and the right loan for your neighbor might not be the right one for you. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a repeat homeowner, looking to refinance, or just exploring options, different programs exist for different circumstances—fixed rates, adjustable rates, FHA loans, conventional loans, and more. Each comes with its own strengths depending on your timeline, down payment, credit profile, and how long you plan to stay in your home. The key is understanding what you actually qualify for and what makes sense for your financial picture, not just picking the first option you hear about. If you've been wondering whether you're in the right loan or whether a different program might work better, I'd love to walk through what's available to you.

Let's talk about which program aligns with your goals—reach out and we can explore your options together.

Tips for Homeowners

Year-End Tax & Mortgage Planning

1.

Consider making your January mortgage payment in December to get an extra month of deductible interest in the current tax year (consult your tax advisor first).

2.

If you plan to sell next year, now is a good time to document improvements — receipts and records add to your cost basis and reduce taxable capital gain at sale.

3.

Review your W-4 withholding if you bought a home this year — your mortgage interest deduction may mean you're having too much withheld from each paycheck.

Have questions about how any of this affects your mortgage or home purchase? We're here to help — reach out to the My Mortgage Company team any time and we'll walk you through your options.
