Loan Programs

Not all mortgages work the same way

When you're shopping for a mortgage, you'll hear terms like fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, FHA, conventional, and VA thrown around. Each one has its own rules, costs, and trade-offs—and what makes sense for one borrower might not make sense for another. The right program depends on how long you plan to stay in your home, how much you can put down, your credit profile, and your comfort with different payment structures. I've worked with borrowers who picked the wrong loan type early on and regretted it. A few minutes spent understanding your options now can mean real savings and peace of mind later. I'm here to walk you through what each program actually means for you.

Let's talk about which loan program fits your situation best.

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.
