Why you should buy a home now vs rent

I hear all the time people say for what I'm paying in rent I could own a house. You can purchase a home with no money down via USDA Rural Housing or with a VA loan if you are a veteran. FHA also has financing with downpayments as little as 3.5%

With spring here now is a great time to get preapproved to purchase a home. Interest rates are still very low and are expected to rise throughout the year. In addition the housing market is heating up and we are seeing a rise in home values. Buying a home now makes a lot of sense vs waiting until fall when interest rates and home prices could be higher.

Even if you have been turned down in the past for financing now is a great time to see if you can get preapproved to buy a home. Lenders have loosened up their qualifications including lowering the minimum credit scores and allowing higher debt to income ratios.

Contact me today to get preapproved to purchase a home and start building equity in your home vs your landlords.

Escrow shortage & why my Wisconsin mortgage payment went up

Escrow shortage and why my Wisconsin mortgage payment went up


I get asked the following question every spring. Why did my Wisconsin monthly mortgage payment go up when I have a fixed rate? It doesn’t matter if you have an FHA, VA, or Conventional mortgage as long as you escrow for real estate taxes & home insurance your monthly payment will adjust each year. The fixed part of your payment is the principal & interest.

In the spring your lender will do an escrow analysis of the prior years payments. If your taxes or insurance went up or down they will adjust the amount that goes into your escrow account resulting in either a higher or lower total monthly mortgage payment.

If your real estate property taxes recently went down you can request an escrow analysis at anytime. The lender will typically request you send them a copy of the most recent tax bill & home insurance. If your assessment went down, but you don’t have a new tax amount they typically won’t adjust your escrow until after the new tax bill comes out.

Here are some answer to questions. Please post a comment below if you have more information to share or a question.

Lenders are unable to order tax transcripts and SSA at this time. Transcripts are needed for all types of loans.
Conventional & VA loans are business as usual barring your lender has tax transcripts.
USDA Rural Development loans are on hold if you don't already have a conditional commitment. If you rec'd a conditional commitment already you shouldn't have an issue being able to close.

The monthly mortgage insurance premiums are being raised 10 bps on all loans <$625,500 and 5 bps on all mortgages > $625,500.

On a $150,000 loan 10 bps will equal about $12.50 more per month you will pay.

FHA is cancelling the automatic removal of monthly mortgage insurance once your loan to value is <78%.

The following loan to value % is based on at time loan is taken out and how long the monthly mortgage insurance will remain.

15 year <78-90% ltv 11 years

15 year >90% ltv life on the loan

>15 year term <90 % ltv 11 years

>15 year term >90% ltv life of the loan


If you are currently looking to purchase or refinance your Wisconsin mortgage save yourself some money by locking in and having your FHA case number pulled prior to April 1, 2013. The loan doesn’t need to close by April 1st, you just need to have your lender pull an FHA case number by then.

#NONFL boycotting watching Thursdays game

After Mondays nights officiating I'm not watching this Thursdays game on the NFL Network in protest. The replacements refs I can't get down on too much, they really aren't qualified and are doing the best they can. We all have a choice to watch or not watch and Thursday I'm not watching the game. This past Sunday was painful to watch the games on Sunday ticket. If it wasn't for fantasy football I probably wouldn't have even watched the games other than the Chargers. As a Packers fan last nights game was just icing on the cake. There were blown calls that went for and against the Packers.


Anyone else not watching Thursday game or Sundays games?

Making and Changing Entries

When filling in an entry form, you do not have to make a pick for each game. This is helpful if there are early games scheduled for a given week (games played on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday). You may make your picks for these games beforehand and complete the rest later.

Games are automatically locked out on the entry form according to their scheduled date and time. Early games are locked at the start of the individual game. All remaining games (including the Monday Night Football game) are locked at the scheduled start time of the first Sunday game.

Note: all times displayed on the schedule are Eastern.

You may change your pick for any game up until the time that game is locked.

Entries must be completed on time. Once a game is locked, you may not change your pick for it. If you did not make a pick for a particular game, it is counted as a loss. If you submit a partial entry and either forget or are unable to complete it, the games you did not pick will count as losses.
