Fixed or adjustable: which works for you?

Fixed or adjustable: which loan fits your plan?

When you're shopping for a mortgage, one of the biggest choices is whether to lock in a fixed rate for the life of your loan or start with an adjustable rate that changes over time. A fixed-rate mortgage gives you payment stability and peace of mind—your rate and payment never change. An adjustable-rate mortgage typically starts lower, which can mean a smaller payment early on, but it will adjust periodically based on market conditions. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay in your home, your comfort with payment uncertainty, and your financial goals. If you're staying put for years, fixed often wins. If you're planning to move or refinance sooner, an ARM might make sense. I'd like to walk through both options with you and help you figure out which aligns with your situation.

Let's talk through your loan options and find the best fit for your timeline and budget.

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.
