BIG news if you want to buy a new home WITHOUT selling your current one first. 👀🏡

Fannie Mae just updated its guidelines for departing residences.

Instead of requiring a lease in certain situations, lenders may now be able to use documented market rent to help determine qualifying rental income.

That could be a game changer if your current mortgage payment was making it harder to qualify for your next home. 🔑

Been told you have to sell before you can buy? Let’s take another look at your options.

Want to buy a home? 🏡 Start saving smarter, not just harder.

Here are 5 things you can start doing TODAY to build your home fund faster:

1️⃣ Create a separate HOME fund 💰
Keep the money you’re saving for your future home separate from your everyday checking or general savings. When everything sits in one account, it’s way too easy to “borrow” from it. Give this money one specific job: your future home.

2️⃣ Set a WEEKLY savings goal 📆
Instead of looking at one intimidating number like “I need to save $10,000,” break it down. Even $100 a week becomes $5,200 over a year. Choose a realistic weekly number and make consistency the goal.

3️⃣ Put your “extra” money toward the house 🏡
Tax refund? Work bonus? Overtime? Birthday money? Side-hustle income? Decide BEFORE it hits your account what percentage will go toward your home. Those occasional larger deposits can move your timeline much faster than you think.

4️⃣ Audit your last 90 days of spending 🔍
Forget obsessing over one cup of coffee. Pull up your actual transactions and look for the BIG leaks. Food delivery, subscriptions, shopping, memberships you forgot about, or one category that keeps getting out of control. Find 2–3 expenses you can reduce and redirect that exact amount into your home fund.

5️⃣ Find out how much you ACTUALLY need 👀
This might be the most important one. Don’t automatically assume you need a 20% down payment before you can buy. Depending on your financial situation, eligibility and loan program, there may be lower down-payment options or even down-payment assistance available.

You can save for years toward an imaginary number, or you can find out what YOUR number actually looks like and build a plan around it.

A mortgage lender… but also a mom. 🤍

As much as I love what I do, there’s another very important part of my life you all know about: my family. 🥰

Between calls, closings, emails, and everything mortgage, I always try to make time for the moments that matter most.

Today, that meant a little family adventure with my kids. ✨

Before you choose a mortgage lender, please ask more than “What’s my rate?” 👀🏡

The rate matters, of course. But it’s only ONE piece of the mortgage.

Here are 4 questions I wish more buyers would ask:

1. What’s my APR, not just my interest rate?
Your APR can help you understand the broader cost of the loan because it incorporates the interest rate plus certain fees and charges. When comparing loan options, look beyond the headline rate.

2. Can I make biweekly or additional principal payments?
Ask how your loan servicer handles extra payments and whether there are any restrictions. Paying additional principal can potentially reduce the amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan.

3. Does this loan allow recasting?
With an eligible loan, a mortgage recast may allow you to make a substantial principal payment and have your monthly principal-and-interest payment recalculated without refinancing. Not every loan or servicer allows it, so ask upfront.

4. Can I see the full breakdown of my estimated closing costs?
Absolutely. Know what you’re paying for. Ask questions about lender fees, third-party costs, points or credits, and anything else you don’t understand.

BONUS:
Ask what loan programs and strategies your lender has access to.

Sometimes the best option isn’t the first loan program you knew to ask about.

A good mortgage conversation shouldn’t leave you afraid to ask questions. I WANT my clients asking them. 🤍

Loan programs, features and eligibility vary. Additional principal payments do not automatically create a biweekly payment plan. Recasting is not available on all loan types or through all servicers.

This. This is why I love what I do. 🤍

Behind every loan is a family, a goal, a new chapter, and a whole lot of trust.

Getting to be a small part of that never gets old. 🏡

What if the down payment isn’t the thing standing between you and homeownership? 👀🏡

There’s a grant program offering up to 3.5% with FHA or 3% with Conventional financing toward your down payment, and after 6 payments, the grant is fully forgiven. 🎉

Before you assume you need to save more, let’s see what options may already be available to you.

Part 2: So… what about mortgage rates today? 🏡

After Linda reminded us that buyers once celebrated getting an 18% rate, today’s market deserves a little perspective. 👀

Rates change, markets change, but waiting for the “perfect” moment can also mean waiting to start building equity.

If buying makes sense for your finances and your goals, let’s look at the numbers and create a strategy that works for you.

Don’t just wait for a rate. Build the plan. Build the equity. Build the legacy. ❤️🏡

18% interest rates. Yes… 18%. 😳

Linda remembers buying a home when that was simply the reality of the market, and people still bought homes, built equity, raised families, and kept moving forward.

It’s a little perspective for anyone looking at today’s rates and wondering if they should keep waiting. 🏡

The “perfect” rate isn’t always what makes it the right time to buy. The right home, the right payment, and a plan that makes sense for you matter much more.

And as Linda said… you’ll live through it. 😂❤️
