Rate Watch
What This Week's Rate Movement Means for Your Payment
Mortgage rates move a little almost every week, and small shifts add up to real dollars on your monthly payment. On a typical loan, even a quarter-point change can mean $50 or more a month — money that's better in your pocket. The good news: you don't have to time the market perfectly. What matters most is being ready, with your credit in good shape and your documents handy, so when a window opens we can move quickly. If you bought or refinanced in the last couple of years, it's worth a five-minute check to see whether today's rates could lower your payment. There's no obligation and no cost to run the numbers — just clarity on where you stand. Want to see what today's rates mean for your payment? Let's run the numbers together.

Tip of the Week
Keep major renovations in line with your neighborhood. Over-improving for the area limits your return at resale.

Tips for Homeowners
Self-Employed Mortgage Tips
|
|
1.
|
Self-employed borrowers typically qualify based on net income from their tax returns, not gross revenue. Two years of returns are standard, and lenders average the two years — a bad year hurts you.
|
|
2.
|
Write-offs reduce taxable income, which is great for taxes but bad for mortgage qualification. Consider whether maximizing deductions in the 1–2 years before applying is worth it.
|
|
3.
|
Bank statement loans are an alternative for self-employed borrowers. Instead of tax returns, lenders use 12–24 months of bank deposits to calculate income. Rates and requirements vary by lender.
