Some people count sheep. You scroll listings and calculate imaginary mortgage payments. 😂

If a 1:00 AM listing has you thinking, “Wait… could I actually afford this?” remember that the price on the screen is only part of the answer.

Your payment can also include the interest rate, property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, and HOA dues.

Save the listing. Get some sleep. Send it to me tomorrow, and I’ll help you run a realistic payment estimate so you can tell whether it’s just a dream home or a home worth planning for. 🏡

Mortgage advice I’d only give after 2 martinis: 🍸🏡

“Go ahead and open that new credit card.”
“Sure, finance the furniture before closing.”
“Moving $20k between accounts? No need to tell me.”
“Quit your job? We’ll figure it out.”
“Of course Zillow’s payment estimate is accurate.” 😌

Please note: These are things I would normally NEVER say. 😂

Before you make any big financial moves while buying a home, text your lender first.

Because some surprises are fun.
Underwriting surprises are not. 🍸😂

🍂 HELLO, SEPTEMBER! 🍂

There’s something about September that feels like a fresh start. 🤎

I’m looking forward to cozy mornings, pumpkin spice everything, football weekends, and Florida’s attempt at cooler weather. 😂☕️🍁

But most of all, I’m excited about the possibilities this month holds for the families I get to help. 🏡

Maybe September is the month someone buys their first home, gets the keys to their dream home, or simply takes that first step toward making a plan.

New month. New goals. New keys. 🔑
Endless possibilities.

Here’s to a beautiful September! 🤎🍂

We’re incredibly grateful for her kind words and honored to have been part of such an important chapter. ❤️

Thank you, Theresa, for trusting Melissa Lape Mortgage Team!

🏡 Mortgage Myth Monday: Let’s Bust This One!

“You need 20% down to buy a home.” ❌

Heard that one before? You’re definitely not alone.

But here’s the truth: 20% is not a universal requirement. Different loan programs have different guidelines, and the right strategy depends on your unique financial picture.

And there’s more to buying a home than just the down payment. You’ll also want to consider closing costs, cash reserves, monthly payment, and the overall cost of the loan.

So before you tell yourself, “I’m not ready to buy,” let’s look at the actual numbers. 👀

You may have more options than you think. 🔑🏡

💬 Have a mortgage myth you’ve always wondered about? Drop it in the comments!

Save this post for later & share it with someone who still thinks 20% is mandatory! ❤️
