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!

This Friday’s post is my recipe for a summer happy hour at home! 🍋☀️

This White Chocolate Lemon Drop Martini is one of my favorites and the perfect drink for a summer night on the patio. Pair it with Art Mart’s Lemon & Honey cheese and some limoncello white chocolate-covered almonds for the perfect summer night treat.

My picture shows the drink recipe and the brands of alcohol I use, but feel free to use your favorites!

Just mix all ingredients in a shaker with ice and enjoy. I also like to add a few white chocolate chips!💛

These are definitely strong, but they are delicious!

Perfect drink for a night, in your new home!🏠

🌾 USDA for eligible rural areas with zero down options
🏠 FHA with flexible guidelines and low down payments
🎖️ VA for eligible veterans with zero down benefits
🔑 Conventional for buyers with strong credit and flexible terms

Your path to homeownership should match your goals. 💚 Let's talk!
