I continue to work with several TBHers on their mortgage needs. You are always my favorite customers! To those - THANK YOU for your trust and support. If you ever have any mortgage related questions, I am only a phone call away. We can knock that out and then talk hunting.
Each month, I contribute an article to a publication here in central Tx and then share it here with you. Read on below...

My 2019 Financial Goal is __________
Happy 2019 Friends! Here we are with another fresh start at those resolutions that got away about eleven months ago. We often joke about diets and going to the gym. However, some face challenges more serious than a few extra pounds in the trunk. Snowballing credit card debt, car loans and student loans have put many in a position where they cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. Credit card debt is the most daunting, carrying interest rates as high twenty percent! If this sounds all too familiar, now is the time to explore your options. Putting it off only increases the pain.
For homeowners, one option is to consolidate your debt and lower your monthly bills by refinancing your mortgage. A cash out refinance allows you to turn a portion of the equity you have built up in your home into cash that you can use for whatever you like. It is your hard earned, invested money and there are no limitations on how that money can be spent, including paying off other debts.
The average interest rate charged on credit cards is nearly ten percent higher than that of a current 30 year mortgage. If you are making only minimum payments, you’re not making headway to financial freedom. In fact, it could take longer to pay off that card than your mortgage! If you consolidate the credit card debt into your mortgage, you are effectively giving yourself a 10% return on your money.
A cash out refinance will increase your mortgage balance, but not necessarily increase your monthly mortgage payment, depending on the current balance, interest rate and terms you qualify for. Compared to the total combined payments each month on your credit cards, your total monthly obligations could decrease significantly. It is not uncommon in these scenarios to see a total reduction of hundreds of dollars a month.
A consultation with your trusted mortgage lender is always free. Whether exploring a cash out refinance, planning to purchase a home, or considering building a custom home, take advantage of this resource. Have a blessed year ahead!
