When buying a home, taxes play a bigger role than most people expect! 🏡

Property taxes are included in your monthly mortgage payment, which means higher taxes can impact how much home you can comfortably afford. Even if two homes have the same price, different tax rates can change your monthly payment significantly. 💰

Our job is to help you look at the full picture, not just the purchase price. We're here to guide you toward a payment that feels comfortable, sustainable, and supportive of your goals now and in the future! 💚

Your LTV ratio can directly affect your monthly payment and overall loan costs. 💵

Loan-to-value = loan amount ÷ home value × 100

LTV stands for loan-to-value, or how much you’re borrowing compared to the home’s value.

Why it matters:
📈 Higher LTV can mean a higher payment
💰 Lower LTV could help you save over time

Even a small change in your down payment can impact your LTV ratio. ✅

Let’s get you home!

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Sean McKee by Edward M - Sean always goes the extra mile to fight on the clients behalf. good communication and keeps it real. 2nd time we have bought a house with Sean and we will for sure tell anyone looking to use him. Especially if you are a vet. Sean gets VA loans though when everyone else says it can't be done!!
