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.

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.
