Loan Programs

Your loan options are wider than you think

When you're ready to buy or refinance, the loan program you choose matters as much as the rate itself. Conventional loans, FHA, VA, USDA — each one has different rules about down payments, credit requirements, and what you can afford. Some programs work better for first-time buyers; others reward people with solid equity. The right fit depends on your situation, not what worked for your neighbor. That's why I always start by understanding where you stand before we talk numbers. If you've been curious about what you actually qualify for, or wondering if a different program type might open a door you thought was closed, let's talk it through.

Send me a message and we can walk through which programs make sense for you.

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.
