"In a statement released Wednesday by the Federal Reserve, the FOMC voted unanimously to raise the target range for the federal funds rate from 0.5% to 0.75%, effective Dec. 15, 2016."
They moved up as expected, and now we are looking at possibly two more hikes this next year. So time to talk to your lender and understand what this means for your specific financial situation!

Good Morning and Happy Friday, As one of the top loan officers and managers at W.J Bradley, it was unfortunate the way that everything came down. With that being said, our team was pretty much aware and made provisions to move prior to the mess of this past weekend. Sunday the compapny got surprised with an e-mail pending a complete shut down. By Monday we were all signed up with another company, clients are okay and the new company is far superior to WJB.

mortgage: Mortgage Rates Modestly Lower
- 12/23/15 03:13 AM
Mortgage rates continued a trend of small, steady improvements into the new week today. This marks the 4th straight day of a winning streak that began last Wednesday when the Fed announced its much-anticipated rate hike. If the notion of a Fed rate hike followed by falling mortgage rates doesn't make sense, don't worry. The Fed rate hike has drawn out lots of analysis on the implications for other interest rates, and much of it is missing two critical points. First, mortgage rates are not directly connected to the Fed Funds Rate. In fact, we've even seen them move in the opposite direction for months in the … (0 comments)

Opportunity cost. By paying off your mortgage early, you'll save on the additional interest expense that would have been incurred in your regular payments. This savings can be significant, and will increase with the prepayment amount. However, by directing excess cash towards paying down … (1 comments)
mortgage: Is it best to use $100,000 to pay off mortgage on home or invest ?
- 12/02/15 01:39 AM
Would it be better to take $100,000 and pay off my mortgage on my primary residence or take the same $100,000 and buy a rental property with only cash? It’s a good question, but there are way too many variables to give you one particular answer. If you’re young, you may opt to keep the mortgage on your home and use that leverage to start buying rental properties with an aim toward developing an investment income rental portfolio. If you’re retired and need income, it may be better to pay off the mortgage and live off whatever sources of income you have without … (3 comments)
