“My rate is locked, so it’s covered until I close.” That’s only true if you close within the lock period and meet its terms.

A rate lock has an expiration date. If closing moves beyond it, an extension may be available, but it can come with an added cost. Changes to the loan can affect the locked terms, too. I want you to know the dates and conditions upfront so you understand what’s covered.

If you’re getting ready to lock your rate, call me at 678-463-5409 and we’ll talk through the timing.

Paying off your home in 15 years sounds good. Let’s make sure you like the payment that comes with it.

A 15-year mortgage generally means a higher monthly principal-and-interest payment than a comparable 30-year loan, but less interest over the full term. That can be a good trade if the payment leaves room for the rest of your life. If it stretches you too thin, we need to look at that, too. I’d rather show you both than assume the shorter loan is the better fit.

Give me a call at 678-463-5409, and we’ll compare what each option would mean for you.

Found a home in Marietta that looks like it fits your monthly budget? Get an insurance estimate for that home before you make an offer.

The number in an online payment calculator may not reflect what it will cost to insure that particular property.

That difference can change the payment you were counting on. Send me the address of the house you love and let's run the numbers to figure out the payment. Call me anytime at 678-463-5409.

Your Closing Disclosure isn't something to glance at on the way to the closing table.

It shows your final loan terms, payment, and closing costs, and you have time to review it before signing.

Compare it with the Loan Estimate you received earlier in the process. If a number surprises you, ask about it while there's still time to get an answer.

Own a business and thinking about buying a home? You don't have to figure out the mortgage side on your own.

Let's look at how you're paid, your business documents, and the loan options that may fit your situation.

I'd rather do that early so you have a clear plan when you find a home you like.

Bring your questions and we'll work through the numbers together. Give me a call at 678-463-5409.

Buying a rental property? The down payment is only one part of the cash plan.

You'll also need to account for closing costs and pre-paids like taxes and insurance, just as you would on another home purchase.

Depending on the loan, you may need to show reserves that remain in your account after closing. And as an owner, you'll want room for repairs or a stretch without a tenant.

Before you make an offer on an investment property, call me at 678-463-5409 and let's look at the full cash picture.

Don't rule out a smaller down payment just because mortgage insurance may be part of the payment.

You have to look at what you're bringing to closing, what the full monthly payment looks like, and how much cash you want to keep available afterward.

For some buyers, putting more down makes sense. For others, keeping more cash on hand matters more.

I'd rather put the actual options side by side than tell you one percentage is right for everyone. If you're weighing down-payment choices, call me at 678-463-5409 and we'll run the numbers.
