Loan Programs

Not all mortgages work the same way

When you're shopping for a home or thinking about refinancing, the loan program you choose shapes your entire mortgage experience — not just your rate. Different programs come with different rules about down payments, credit requirements, how much you can borrow, and what happens if rates move. Some borrowers benefit from flexibility; others prioritize stability. The right fit depends on your situation, your timeline, and what matters most to you. I'd love to walk you through what's available and help you understand which approach makes sense for where you are right now.

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

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 Abiel Sanchez team any time and we'll walk you through your options.
