Which mortgage program is right for you?

Hi there. I spent some time this week reviewing loan programs with borrowers who realized they'd never really understood the differences. Here's what I'm seeing.

Loan Programs

Not all mortgages work the same way

When you're shopping for a mortgage or thinking about refinancing, the interest rate gets most of the attention. But the loan program itself—whether it's a fixed rate, adjustable rate, FHA, conventional, or something else—shapes your whole experience as a borrower. Different programs have different rules about down payments, credit requirements, and how your payments work over time. The right choice for your neighbor might not be right for you, depending on your timeline, your financial picture, and what you're trying to accomplish. That's why I always recommend having a conversation about which program actually makes sense for your situation, not just which one has the lowest teaser rate.

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

Tip of the Week

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate so there are no surprises.

Tips for Homeowners

Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams

1.

Wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing real estate scams. Never wire closing funds based solely on email instructions — always verify account numbers by calling your title company at a number you look up yourself.

2.

Loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners in distress. Legitimate help is available free through HUD-approved counseling agencies at 800-569-4287.

3.

Be wary of unsolicited offers to refinance or cash out equity at terms that sound unusually favorable. If someone contacts you out of the blue, verify their NMLS license number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
