Affordability Check

Your budget might be healthier than you think

One thing I see often: people assume their mortgage payment is fixed in stone, but life changes. A job bump, a lower rate environment, or even paying down other debts can shift what you can comfortably afford—or what you could have afforded when you first bought. If your financial picture has improved since you got your loan, it might be worth a conversation. We can walk through where you stand, whether refinancing makes sense, or even if staying put is smarter for your goals. There's no obligation; it's just a reality check on your own terms.

Reach out if you'd like to talk through where you stand today.

Tip of the Week

Refinancing resets your amortization clock. If you're 10 years into a 30-year loan, consider a shorter term to avoid paying more total interest.

Tips for Homeowners

Co-Signing a Mortgage: What You're Really Agreeing To

1.

Co-signing makes you equally responsible for the debt. If the primary borrower misses payments, your credit score takes the same hit and the lender can pursue you for the full balance.

2.

The co-signed mortgage debt appears on your credit report and counts toward your DTI. This can limit your ability to qualify for your own financing until the loan is paid off or refinanced out of your name.

3.

There's no automatic way to remove yourself as a co-signer — the primary borrower must refinance the loan in their name alone. Get this understanding in writing before you sign.

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.
