Loan Programs

What type of mortgage actually fits your life

One of the biggest decisions you'll make isn't about rates—it's about which loan program makes sense for you. A fixed-rate mortgage locks in your payment for the full term, so you know exactly what you're paying every month. An adjustable-rate mortgage might start lower, but your payment can change over time. There are programs designed for first-time buyers, for people with less-than-perfect credit, for larger loans, and more. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay, how much certainty you need in your budget, and your financial goals. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, which is why it's worth talking through your situation with someone who can walk you through the tradeoffs.

I'm here to help you figure out which option makes the most 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.
