🎃🍫 Ranking Halloween candy like I rank mortgage programs… and yes, I have opinions! 😂
🍫 #1 Snickers – 30-Year Fixed/Conventional
A classic favorite! Predictable payments and popular for a reason.
🇺🇸 #2 VA Loan – The Sweetest Benefit
0% down for eligible buyers and no monthly mortgage insurance. You’ve earned it!
🍫 #3 Kit Kat – Temporary Rate Buydown
Give me a break! Lower payments upfront can provide some breathing room.
🍬 #4 Skittles – FHA
A little flexibility goes a long way! As little as 3.5% down and more forgiving credit guidelines.
🥜 #5 Reese’s – Down Payment Assistance
The hidden gem! More buyers qualify than you might think.
🌽 #6 Candy Corn – Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
Not everyone’s favorite, but it can be a smart strategy for the right buyer!
🏡 Here’s the thing: These aren’t ranked from best to worst. Just like Halloween candy, what works for one person might not work for another.
After 26 years in mortgages, I know the best loan isn’t always the most popular one. It’s the one that makes sense for YOU!
👇 Now tell me… what’s your favorite Halloween candy? And are we judging the candy corn lovers? 😂
