Loan Programs

Not all mortgages are built the same

One thing I've learned talking to borrowers is that most people think a mortgage is a mortgage—but the real differences lie in the details. The loan program you choose shapes your rate, your payment, your flexibility, and how much you pay over time. Fixed-rate loans, adjustable options, government-backed programs, portfolio products—each one works differently depending on your situation, how long you plan to stay in your home, and what matters most to you financially. The wrong fit can cost you money or limit your options down the road. The right one can save you plenty. If you've never talked through which program makes sense for your actual life, that's worth a conversation. I'm happy to walk you through your options and what they really mean for you.

Let's find the right loan program 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.
