Loan Programs

Your mortgage doesn't have to look like everyone else's

Not all loans are built the same. Depending on your situation—whether you're a first-time buyer, self-employed, have a non-traditional income, or own investment property—different loan programs can work better for you than others. Some programs offer flexibility on down payments, some are easier on credit history, and some move faster through underwriting. The right fit depends on your actual life, not a one-size formula. I've seen borrowers get approved and close faster by choosing a program tailored to their circumstances rather than forcing themselves into a standard box. If you've ever wondered whether a different path might work better for you, that's worth exploring together.

Let's talk about which program might be the best match for your situation.

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.
