Grateful I was able to help this wonderful, young family obtain financing to buy their first home. We paired a down payment assistance program (CHAC) with an FHA loan, they only needed to bring 1% to closing. They also received 25k seller concessions to buy their rate down to the mid 4’s. šŸ«¶šŸ¼My Denver Mortgage Company

In addition, I was able to shop their homeowners and auto insurance to ensure they received the best premium and coverage available! Aspen Shield Insurance

There’s truly no better feeling than hearing kind words from the people I’ve had the privilege of helping. šŸ¤

To every family who has trusted me to be part of their home-buying journey — thank you. Helping you find a place to call home is more than a transaction; it’s a relationship and a moment I’m honored to be part of. šŸ™šŸ¼

šŸ—£ļøSTOP WAITING FOR THE ā€œPERFECTā€ INTEREST RATE.

Here’s the conversation more homebuyers need to have right now:

Would you rather buy a home *today at a lower purchase price with seller concessions— potentially using those concessions toward closing costs, a rate buydown, or other expenses…

OR wait for a potentially lower interest rate, only to find yourself buying that same type of home at a *higher price with little or no seller concessions?

Because a lower interest rate does NOT automatically mean you’re getting the better deal.

Let’s say you wait for rates to improve. If competition increases and home prices rise, you could potentially give up thousands in purchase-price savings and negotiating power just to get a lower rate.

Meanwhile, today’s market may give buyers something incredibly valuable: LEVERAGE!

More negotiating room.
Seller-paid closing costs.
Rate buydown opportunities.
Inspection or repair negotiations.
And potentially a lower purchase price.

The smartest strategy isn’t necessarily wait for rates to drop.

It’s Let’s run the numbers on the entire transaction.

That applies whether you’re buying in Florida or Colorado.

šŸ” Don’t just ask, ā€œWhat’s the interest rate?ā€

Ask:
**What’s my purchase price?**
**What are my closing costs?**
**What concessions can I negotiate?**
**What will my monthly payment be?**
**What will I actually pay over time?**

The lowest rate isn’t always the lowest-cost opportunity.

Buy the numbers — not the headline!

Kind CHIC period. …The last slide though! 🄰🩷

Are you on the fence whether you want to buy or keep renting! Let’s talk about it!
What if the seller gives you 25K to buy the rate down or for updates? What if you can buy before you sell then stage a vacant home with a GUARANTEEED sale? What if you can buy a home with as little as $1000 down?
Everyone needs housing! Let’s make it work in YOUR favor!

Contact me today. I specialize in Florida and Colorado markets but I do investment/commercial loans across the country.

Self-employed and showing lower or limited income on your tax returns? šŸ‘€

That doesn’t automatically mean you can’t buy a home!

If you’re a business owner, 1099 worker, freelancer, or self-employed professional, there may be financing options designed to look at your income differently.

šŸ¦ Bank Statement Loans— qualifying income may be based on eligible bank deposits instead of traditional tax-return income.

šŸ“Š P&L Loans— certain programs allow a profit & loss statement to help document your income.

šŸ’¼ Alternative Income Options— depending on the program and your financial profile, there may be ways to qualify when your tax returns don’t show the full picture of your cash flow.

So if you’ve been told, ā€œYour income is too low on your tax returns,ā€ don’t assume your dream of homeownership is over.

There may be an option worth exploring. šŸ”
