Loan Programs

What type of loan actually fits your life

Most people know about 30-year fixed mortgages, but that's just one option. Depending on your situation—whether you're planning to stay in your home long-term, expecting your income to grow, or looking to keep payments lower early on—a different loan structure might work better for you. Some borrowers benefit from adjustable-rate loans, others from shorter terms, and still others from programs designed specifically for their down payment or credit profile. The right choice isn't about what sounds fanciest; it's about what aligns with your actual plans and budget. I'd be happy to walk through what makes sense given where you are right now.

Let's talk about which loan program might be the best fit for your situation.

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.
