Big News from Freddie Mac for first time investors! 🚨

Freddie Mac has announced some significant changes to their rental income guidelines. One of the major updates is that you no longer need to own a primary residence to finance the purchase of an investment property. You must have a housing expense, such as renting an apartment or home, but owning your residence is no longer a requirement.

Additionally, they've updated the requirements for calculating rental income when a property was out of service due to renovation.

Qualifying for a mortgage with rental income can be complex, but don’t worry! Let's chat, and I'll help you navigate your next purchase or refinance.

3 Tiny Habits That Will Pay Your Mortgage Off Faster

🏠💰✨

Bi-weekly Payments:

By making bi-weekly payments, you'll squeeze out one extra payment every year! This can shave about 6 years off your 30-year mortgage. 🗓️🏃‍♂️
Recasting:

If you make a large one-time payment towards your mortgage, recasting allows you to recompute your mortgage payment schedule without refinancing. This can reduce your monthly payments and save you interest in the long run. 📉🔄
Round Up Purchases:

Use an app like Acorns to round up every purchase to the nearest dollar. Apply these savings to your mortgage at the end of the year. Small change adds up to big savings! 💸📲
Start today and watch your mortgage shrink faster! 🌟🏡
