Let's Buy a House‪!‬ Miriam Gilmore

What is a home renovation loan? Are they complicated? How can you get one and why do you need one?

I answer all these questions about Home Renovations loans. They are surprisingly easier than I thought they would be. 

Listen in as there's a new program to help buyers reduce interest rates temporarily. This may help if buyer is then able to refinance when rates come down again.

The kicker is that you need to go through a broker. Banks don't want to do this program, but a mortgage broker can help you. 

Do you qualify and qualify comfortably with a monthly payment to buy a new house? With the rising interest rates, does it make sense to buy a home due to rising interest rates? 

Learn about your debt-to-income ratio and if interest rates are driving house prices down.

Are you panicked over rising rates? 

This may still be okay if you're trying to buy a house. There may not be as much competition for getting into the house you want. Instead of it being over-crowded with crazy offers, you now may be able to get the house you want.
 
Yes, rates are higher. But when you look at what your monthly payment is, it doesn't mean you can't get a home. Plus, refinancing when the rates are lower is always an option.

If you have a side hustle, do you know how to report that as income when buying a house? Listen in as we talk about what that means for your overall income. 

FHA loans are not as bad as they seem.
