What type of loan program is the best for me?
The many different types of loan programs available can seem overwhelming. Should you choose a fixed rate, adjustable rate, or government loan mortgage? The truth is there is no right answer... Read More

What is The Cost Of Renting Vs. Buying?
- Historically, the choice between renting or buying a home has been a tough decision.

Will a refinance help get rid of my PMI?
In many cases, yes. As rates have dropped and home values have risen, many homeowners have an opportunity to remove their PMI while reducing their overall monthly payment. Talk to your loan officer about the specific requirements of the loan products you qualify for.
Keep in mind that many loans have a ‘seasoning requirement’ that requires you to wait at least 2 years before you can refinance to get rid of PMI. So if your loan is less than 2 years old, you can request that your PMI be removed with a new refinance but you’re not guaranteed to get approval.

What is a Non-Qm Home loan?
order to better understand a Non-QM, it is helpful to be familiar with the criteria of a qualified mortgage. A qualified mortgage (QM-loan) is a home loan that meets certain standards set forth by the Consumer Protection Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, signed by President Obama following the 2008 housing crisis.
The requirements for a qualified mortgage include:
- Verification of income is required, otherwise known as the “ability-to-repay” rule
- The debt ratio cannot exceed 43%
- Points and fees should not exceed 3% of the loan amount
- The loan cannot have risky features such as negative amortization or interest-only
- The loan term cannot exceed 30 years
These guidelines were adopted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to help prevent poor lending practices that sparked the previous financial crisis.
