Mortgage Hack

Don’t overlook seller concessions this spring. Negotiating for the seller to cover part of your closing costs can reduce the cash you need at closing and help you keep more money in your pocket for moving or reserves. Keep in mind, limits may apply based on the loan program.

Mortgage Broker Lingo: Debt to Income (DTI)

DTI is the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes toward paying your monthly debts including your future mortgage payment

Lenders use DTI to measure your ability to manage monthly payments. A lower DTI can improve your chances of qualifying and may open the door to better loan options.

Example: If you earn $5,000/month and have $2,000 in monthly debt payments, your DTI is 40%

Start Your Search Early

The best homes bloom quickly in spring, so don’t wait too long to jump in.

Boost Your Curb Appeal

Fresh flowers, green lawns, and a clean exterior make a powerful first impression.

Look Beyond the Flowers

A home may look beautiful in spring, but be sure to check long-term condition and upkeep.

Move Quickly, But Smartly

Competition heats up, so be prepared to act, don’t rush without guidance.

Let the Light In Open curtains and highlight natural sunlight to make your home feel bright and inviting.
