WHAT IF YOUR DOWN PAYMENT COULD BE FORGIVEN… AND YOUR SOLAR COULD BE BUILT INTO YOUR MORTGAGE?

A new CCM FHA financing strategy can help eligible homebuyers combine solar financing + forgivable down payment assistance into one home purchase.
Here’s what makes it exciting:

Up to 5% in down payment & closing cost assistance
Eligible solar costs can be financed into the FHA mortgage
Primary residence purchases

Assistance is structured as a second mortgage that can be fully forgiven after 90 days!!!

DM me “SOLAR” and I’ll show you how this program could work for your situation.

REAL ESTATE INVESTORS - THIS ONE IS WORTH KNOWING!

What if you could buy your next investment property without putting 20% down?

A new CCM Signature option offers eligible investors:

Up to 90% LTV on 1-unit investment properties
Up to 85% LTV on 2–4 unit properties
No mortgage insurance required
15 and 30 year fixed-rate options
Loan amounts up to $2 million, subject to applicable guidelines

Why does this matter?
Because putting less money into one property can potentially leave you with more capital available for reserves, renovations, or your next investment.

The strategy isn’t always “How much can I put down?” Sometimes it’s “How can I use my capital most effectively to grow?”

If you’re thinking about buying an investment property, don’t automatically assume you need 20% down.

DM me “INVEST” and let’s see what options may be available for you.

Investment-property purchase only. Guidelines, eligibility, and underwriting requirements apply. Not all borrowers or properties will qualify.

Day 1 of Tom Ferry’s Success Summit is in the books ✍️

One of the biggest takeaways? Success isn’t just about what you learn, it’s about who you surround yourself with. Grateful to spend the evening with people who challenge each other, share ideas, and are all committed to growing personally and professionally.

Looking forward to another day of learning, connecting, and bringing back even more value to the clients and partners I serve.

With inflation data and geopolitical developments both in focus, buyers and homeowners could see another stretch of rate volatility.

Those considering a purchase or refinance may want to stay prepared to act if conditions shift in their favor

You just received notice that you’re Clear to Close, now what?

The night before signing isn’t the time to make financial moves or discover you forgot something.

Take 10 minutes to get everything ready, confirm your signing details, review your numbers, and make sure your funds are ready to go.

One important reminder: Never trust wiring instructions from an email alone. Always independently verify them directly with your escrow/title company before sending money.

Save this for closing week, or send it to someone who’s getting ready to buy a home.
