Loan Programs

Not all mortgages work the same way

When you're shopping for a home or thinking about refinancing, the interest rate gets most of the attention—but the loan program you choose matters just as much. A conventional loan, an FHA loan, a VA loan if you're eligible, or an adjustable-rate option all come with different rules, requirements, and long-term costs. What works for your neighbor might not be the best fit for your situation. The right program depends on your down payment, credit profile, income, how long you plan to stay in the home, and what payment predictability means to you. I'd rather help you understand your real options than push you toward whatever sounds flashiest. Let's talk about which program aligns with your actual financial picture.

Reach out and let's explore what loan program makes sense for 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.
