Pre-Approval

Above all, today’s interest-only loans, self-employment programs, rental purchase programs, vacation property programs and a host of other innovative financing alternatives are dotting the home purchase landscape making home-ownership a reality for more people.

Mortgage Refinancing
What is mortgage refinancing?
Essentially, refinancing allows you to pay off your existing mortgage and replace it with a new one. There are a variety of reasons to consider mortgage refinancing, including but not limited to:
You want to leverage large increases in property value You want to get equity out of the home for upgrades or renovations You are looking to consolidate your debt You have kids headed off to college You want a better interest rate
If you opt to refinance during your term, it is considered to be breaking your mortgage agreement. As with everything, refinancing comes at a price! James understands the best options to keep the costs to a minimum for every situation.
Mortgage Renewal
When Can I Renew My Mortgage?
Generally it is a good idea to start shopping for a new term between four and six months before your current mortgage term expires. Many lenders send out your renewal letter very close to the time that your term expires and this does not give you ample time to arrange for a mortgage term through a different lender. This means that you need to be tracking your own mortgage term time-frame and know when it is time to start shopping for a good mortgage renewal rate.
There are a number of factors to consider when renewing such as… Has your income changed? Have your expenses changed? Has your appetite for financial risk changed? Are you starting a family? change in your marital status? Do you need to pay for a large expense?

Reverse Mortgages
Thinking about using your home equity do accomplish some of your goals?
You now have a choice when it comes to Reverse Mortgages… and we know it just feels better when you have options. Your reverse mortgage must be repaid when the last remaining homeowner leaves the home, which generally happens through sale of property where the proceeds are used to pay back the loan. You can use a reverse mortgage for things like
Paying off debt Covering everyday expenses Making renovations Supporting your family Paying for in-home care Investing
