Totally kidding!!!
But if you're self-employed or take work related tax write offs and thinking this is your year to make a move of any kind, including a refinance, you want to make sure you're taking all your legal write offs in the right ways. Not all tax preparers are as experienced and knowledgeable as others. Before you file, it would be wise to have a great lender (like me!) review your 2024 taxes, your profit & loss statement for 2025 and possibly hop on a professional brainstorming call with you & your CPA or tax preparer to look at various legal ways to set you up for success to qualify on your real estate goals.

Because, you're too cute for prison!!!

Congratulations on your 1st home, Turner family!
You did it!!!

Are you training with a coach who helps you prepare to hit the curve balls? Life is not operating at "slow pitch" levels anymore. It comes at us fast and crazy.

This lovely young family had multiple curve balls thrown their way in the last 2 years...that, had we not trained and prepared properly, could have caused a lot of disappointment.
-Maternity Leave
-Job change with unexpected delayed start date
-Layoff due to small business owner being hit with serious medical issue
-Union strike at new job with unpaid time off

Whew! Almost all of them came out of NOWHERE!

When this lovely family was referred to me, they had been quickly pre-qualified with a different lender. But a "pre-qual" is not a true pre-approval. Its a "rough wag" at best. Its why my team and I dont do them.

The details shared with me in our interview let me know, the program they were being guided to wasnt going to get approved in the end...because the income calculations weren't going to pan out under those guidelines.

Can you imagine getting your hopes up, spending money on inspections and appraisals...packing boxes and making life plans only to come up short?

I told the Turners that if they'd trust me to lead them through, and add just a little more down payment, we would get our win. We would make a homerun out of those curveballs.

They did all the workouts. All the push-ups. Stayed focussed and positive. And they got their WIN with a lovely daylight basement home in a fabulous school district for their growing daughter. Not too far to commute, and plenty of room for a playset and to host prayer group...just like everyone had hoped for.

Nicely done, you guys! Thanks for trusting our team to walk beside you on this exciting journey.

Enjoy HOME!!!
