- 11/08/16 05:47 AM
It's Election Day, I hope you went out and exercised your privilege to vote! Typically, around an election as important as this people always bring it up to me in conversation, Sergio - what's gonna happen to home loans and rates? Well, while I don't have a crystal ball, I do have a good handle on the industry and I'd like to share a portion of an article I read recently while doing my homework as I am obviously just as interested in that topic (if not, even more so) than those who approach me about it.
