Sometimes we think life is going one direction…
We make the plans. We picture the future. We hold on tight to what we thought was supposed to happen.

And then God smacks us across the forehead with a 2x4 and says…
“Nope. That’s not the path I have for you.”

The pain of change is real.
The disappointment is real.
The grief of what could’ve been is real.

But I’ve realized something… every painful season in my life has birthed something bigger out of me.

Out of heartbreak came purpose.
Out of loneliness came community.
Out of feeling unseen came a mission to make sure other women never feel excluded again.

That’s how the We Mean Business Podcast was born.
That’s how You Can Sit With Us Social was born.

A space for women to feel empowered, connected, included, loved… while giving back to our community at the same time.

So now?
It’s time to grind.
Time to put my head down.
Time to heal.
Time to build.
Time to come out stronger than ever before.

Sometimes God removes you from the life you were trying to force… so He can build the life you were actually created for.

Love,
LoanKat 💕

I got into the mortgage industry when I was just 21 years old.

No big master plan.
No fancy roadmap.
Just a young girl willing to learn, willing to work, and willing to bet on herself.

I didn’t know back then that this career would shape my entire life.

Over the last 24+ years, I’ve seen it all crazy markets, rate hikes, crashes, bidding wars, tears at closing tables, and the absolute JOY of handing someone keys to their first home.

But here’s the truth…

I don’t do loans.
I help people.

I help the single mom who thought she’d never qualify.
I help the couple rebuilding their credit.
I help the veteran who deserves every benefit available.
I help the family who was told “no” by someone else.

This business isn’t about interest rates for me.
It’s about impact.

It’s about sitting at a kitchen table and saying,
“Okay. Let’s figure this out together.”

At 21, I stepped into this industry not knowing what it would become.

Today, I do it with intention.
With integrity.
And with a whole lot of heart.

And if you’ve ever trusted me with your home loan thank you….
You’re the reason I still love what I do.

🏡✨ What Do You Need to Get Pre-Approved for a Home Loan? ✨🏡

Getting pre-approved is the FIRST power move when buying a home. It tells you what you can afford and shows sellers you’re serious. 💪

Here’s what I’ll typically need from you:

✔️ Last 2 years of W-2s (or tax returns if self-employed)
✔️ Last 30 days of pay stubs
✔️ Last 2 months of bank statements
✔️ Information on any current debts (car loans, student loans, credit cards)

That’s it. 👏

Don’t overthink it. You don’t need perfect credit. You don’t need 20% down. You just need to start the conversation.

I’ve been doing this for 23+ years and I promise I’ll walk you through every step.

Ready to see what’s possible?
📲 DM me “PRE-APPROVED” and let’s get you home.

This is a very positive outlook for Real Estate 🏡 in 2024. 🎉🥳🎊
Investing in real estate 🏡 can be considered a good opportunity for several reasons. Real estate 🏡 often appreciates over time, providing potential for appreciation gains. I recommend to my clients that they stay in the home at least 3-5 years. The longer the better in my opinion. Additionally, rental income 💵from properties 🏡 can offer a steady cash flow 💵. The dream 🤔of homeownership is exciting something that is truly yours. 🤛🫵🙌🥰
Real estate 🏡 is also a tangible asset that tends to be less volatile compared to other investment types.
Looking to purchase a home 🏡 in 2024 this is the moment you have been waiting for. 🙌💪🫶
I’d love to talk with you about getting your finances in place to purchase a home. You can buy a home with only 3% or 3.5% down payment 💵 plus closing cost.
