Loan Programs

Which loan type actually fits your situation

Not all mortgages work the same way, and picking the wrong one can cost you thousands over time. Some loans make sense if you're planning to move in five years. Others reward you for staying put. Some protect you if rates spike; others let you build equity faster if you're willing to take on more risk. The right choice depends on your timeline, how stable your income is, and what matters most to you—lower monthly payments or long-term savings. I've worked with borrowers who picked a loan type based on what they thought sounded good, only to realize later it wasn't a match for their real life. That's why it's worth having a conversation about your actual plans before you sign anything. Let's talk through what makes sense for where you're headed.

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.
