woodbridge mortgage lender: Renting is Good! Yeah I Said It - 08/29/12 07:34 AM
Renting is good.....I know this is not a common statement 

from a Woodbridge Mortgage Lender.  
But it is true, renting is good,  if you meet one of the following criteria:
You are only in the area for a short period of time You enjoy paying someone else's mortgage You like the yearly rent increase without an increase in services or amenities. Rent in your area is cheaper than buying and you just can't afford a mortgage (In Woodbridge, VA rent is actually higher than mortgages based on recent affordability studies) You enjoy white boring walls with no chance to … (8 comments)

woodbridge mortgage lender: Don't Listen to Suze Orman! Find Out Why... - 07/15/12 06:38 AM
Last Saturday, I sat down after a long day to watch some TV.  I clicked on the Suze Orman Show and this is where the disagreement began.  I ended up leaving the room screaming at the TV, "Don't Listen to Suze Orman!"  Watch the short video below, Don't Listen to Suzie Orman to see if you disagree as well. 

I am not a financial expert on all money matters, but I'd like to think I am the expert for Mortgage Planning when buying a home in Woodbridge,Virginia. And what is suggested to the caller sounds like mortgage fraud and more.....

woodbridge mortgage lender: How to Avoid Fireworks Before Your Closing - 07/06/12 08:10 PM
In the spirit of the 4th I am sharing how to avoid fireworks before your home purchase in Virginia or Maryland. 

 
Buying a home has become an exciting yet stressful time when using mortgage financing.  FHA loans, VA loans, and Conventional loans all have different guidelines to follow, but here are the things to do to avoid the fireworks before closing:
 
Do not transfer or deposit large sums of money into your bank account without being able to source the funds.  Do not send what you think will suffice for loan approval conditions.  For instance, if you are … (21 comments)

woodbridge mortgage lender: Buyers don't want a mortgage By FHA Mortgage Lender - 03/19/12 07:02 AM
As a FHA Mortgage Lender I have come to the conclusion that buyers do not want a mortgage. What they do want is a place to create memories, security, stability, or maybe to start a family.
Hey first time buyers let's not put the cart before the horse. Unless you can pay cash a mortgage loan is a means to an end.
So before you go to find your stability, security, and a place to call your own, it is a must to get pre approved for financing.
Never find your new home without finding your new mortgage loan.

woodbridge mortgage lender: I Can Always Count on ActiveRain for Inspiritation- Day 24 of 31 Day Challenge! - 05/24/11 09:53 PM

It's nice to know I can always count on AR for a little inspiration. After a very tough day in the mortgage business I was completely spent. Today in the business it "seems" like every scenario is a "square peg for a round hole".
 
Anyway, I logged into AR and on my home page I had moved up on the leader board in my area from #8 to #7, thanks to participating in the "31 Day Challenge". The challenge has been a journey with days of interesting to not so interesting posts. I know it's not about the points, but … (9 comments)

woodbridge mortgage lender: No I'm Not Pregnant, My Shirt Is Just Too Small! - 05/19/11 02:52 PM
"No I'm not pregnant, my shirt is just too small,"
was my response to a colleague the other day (or my tummy is too big). I probably should be embarrassed to say this, but I have no qualms about making fun of myself. "Live, love, and laugh" are my motto!
Well there goes my self esteem, thanks Debbie Direct! Sooo, I guess it's time to dust off the membership to Retro Fitness in Woodbridge, VA. After years in the WNBA, I never thought I would become a skinny, chubby chick all at the same time. 
 

 
If you need to get … (18 comments)

woodbridge mortgage lender: Shut Up Mommy! - 03/14/11 05:19 PM
"Shut up Mommy!" yelled my two year old the other night...as much as I was surprised, partly because I have never told my sons to "Shut up" (I prefer a stern "Be Quiet!"),I was somewhat amused. So I decided to post on my Facebook status, "What do you do when your two year old yells Shut up Mommy?" Again, I was surprised and amused with the many responses. They ranged from, "Has that two year old come to yet?" all the way to a lengthy response about discipline now or he may be a serial killer or woman hater...(okay I'm exaggerating), … (6 comments)
