She was knowledgable, responsive, and incredibly dedicated to finding a way to get the loan approved when I honestly wasn't sure it was possible. She is willing to go the exta mile to make it happen.

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Lindsey Dehn by Melissa L - Absolutely love Lindsey! She's so kind, informed and on top of things! Had a different lender, was told that I would need to change my loan type, new appraisal, new down payment, etc, just to refinance, contacted Lindsey, all she needed was updates pay stubs and taxes. Highly recommend!!

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!

Homeownership looks different for everyone, and choosing your path starts with finding the right loan program. 🏡

Here are the most common options:

🌾 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!

Breathing room matters when it comes to your budget! A lower debt-to-income ratio can make a difference. 👇

DTI shows how much of your monthly income goes toward debts like car payments, credit cards, and student loans. 💰

When that number is lower, you have more flexibility in your budget, you can qualify more comfortably, handle unexpected expenses, and enjoy homeownership without feeling stretched every month! 🔑

Ask first, stress less! 💬

Before making an offer, there are a few important questions buyers should ask to stay informed:
🤔 How will my loan structure affect my long-term costs?
🤔 What could change between pre-approval and closing?
🤔 What financial moves should I avoid right now?

Clear answers upfront can prevent surprises later! Have questions? Let's talk! 📱
