Loan Programs

More options than you might think

When you're shopping for a mortgage or thinking about refinancing, the loan program you choose shapes everything—your rate, your payment, how long you're committed. A lot of borrowers assume there's only one or two programs out there, but the reality is there are several paths forward, each with different strengths depending on your situation. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a repeat homeowner, or someone looking to tap into your equity, understanding what programs are available to you can make a real difference. The right fit depends on your timeline, how long you plan to stay in the home, and what matters most to you financially. I'd love to walk you through what's possible in your specific case.

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 Angela Maw team any time and we'll walk you through your options.
