Loan Programs

Not all mortgages work the same way

When you're shopping for a home or thinking about refinancing, you have real choices about the kind of loan you take on. Fixed-rate mortgages, adjustable rates, different down payment options, and specialized programs each have their own trade-offs—and what makes sense depends on your situation, not on what's popular. I find that a lot of borrowers pick a loan type without understanding why, or assume one path is always better. The truth is simpler: the right loan matches your timeline, comfort level with payments, and what you think happens next with rates and your life. Let's talk through what you're actually looking for.

I'd be happy to walk you through the loan types that could fit your goals.

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.
