Tons of great questions from today’s show, both through YouTube comments and phone calls! Here is a brief rundown from the show this week.

A caller asks Debbie why she decided to create Mortgage Mom Radio? Debbie answers and talks with Heidi about their friendship and how she twisted her arm to be on air.

Debbie and Heidi then take a call LIVE on air with an audience member with some important questions. The caller asks about a rate quote she received from another lender that sounded too good to be true. Debbie and Heidi are there to answer everything in detail, hence giving the caller great direction. After analyzing this call, Debbie points out the ongoing trend of solicitation when it comes to loan opportunities from other lenders. She urges her audience to ALWAYS call in or go to the website and make an appointment with the MMR Team. It’s the best way for clients and audience members to receive the correct information and make the best decisions for themselves with knowledge.

Debbie and Heidi answer more questions LIVE and through social media. The question they always get is: “When is it a good time to buy?” They both agree that it’s always a good time to buy, but not always a good time to sell. Heidi says that right now rates are still low and it’s always better to own something than to rent, especially because rental costs are “insane in every state!” Debbie drills down on the benefit of owning a home versus renting a home when it comes to tax write offs and other long-term benefits. They go on to talk property types, loan to values, credit scores, debt to income ratios and how all these elements affect people differently depending on their background and financial status. “Every situation is different, so call in today!” They say!

Debbie talks about the benefits of the MMR phone App and the new “official” Mortgage Mom Radio Store where you can purchase beer stein/mugs, wine glasses and tumblers. They’ve got beach bags, hats, T-shirts and more!

Debbie reminds her listeners that she is NOT affiliated with Movement Mortgage and that they have been trying to solicit her previous clients by claiming to be working with her and her team. This is clearly a blatant misrepresentation because the solicitors are using Debbie’s name. VERY IMPORTANT: Reach out and contact Mortgage Mom directly, ALWAYS and for everything, even if you get an e-mail saying it’s from Debbie!

Debbie and Heidi move on to talk about VA Cash Out Loans and how 90% financing is the norm right now even though 100% can be available for these types of loans. They take a deep dive on how to get to that 100%. The bottom line, 100% is available and you can obtain the cash you are looking for if you are a veteran. If you have been told that you are limited to 90% then call our team.

Debbie then clarifies that questions from clients and audience members NEED to be sent through e-mail and NOT through TEXT. Clients and audience members must text the word “MOM” to the phone number 844-935-3634 (WE LEND 4 U) to get the phone app and links to watch each live show.

Debbie also announces that her team will be moving back into office space this week, which they are very excited about.

Wednesday, August 4th, 2021

On today’s show, Debbie brings in Team Member and Loan Assistant Heidi Slagle-Points to talk Lending, Mortgage, and Divorce. Although Heidi is “under the weather” on this segment, she pushes through and makes out like a champ while simultaneously sharing great information! Debbie also announces that her sound man, Drewin Young, is finally working on a new jingle for the Mortgage Mom Radio phone number and hoping to have it ready within the next few weeks.

As usual the girls go into their segment labeled “Catching Up with Mom” and proceed to morph the conversation into the ongoing trend of the Great Migration from California to other states that are less expensive. Debbie explains to her audience to always do their research on all aspects of other states (before making that final decision to leave their current state) when it comes to property taxes, groceries and even gardening. Heidi then adds on by pointing out that her internet is significantly more expensive living in Arizona compared to California.

They move into the hot and difficult topic of divorce where they set up various informative scenarios that deal with buying new homes while in the middle of the separation prior to the finalized divorce proceedings. They drill down on subjects of community property states versus non-community property states, joint accounts, alimony and child support and how to strategically work with these elements and how to properly use them to a client’s benefit.

Wednesday, July 28th, 2021

Our show is interactive and educational based on Debbie Marcoux, The Mortgage Mom, and her team’s opinions of the business. They are NOT financial advisors!

What did we talk about during this week’s show?

“Catching Up with Mom.” Debbie reflects on her trip to Lake Havasu last weekend, while Heidi talks about the fascination, she was with the monsoons outside of her home.

Debbie is also excited to announce the official Mortgage Mom Radio online store (now available) where you can purchase MMR merchandise through their website. STORE/T-SHIRTS & MORE

Debbie takes a great question from a caller who is in the movie industry and who is also a veteran looking to buy his first home. The caller asks about just starting a new job and his Debt-to-Income Ratio. How does that all work? Debbie gives great educational direction, and the caller has an “Aha moment.” This brings up the point that every situation and circumstance is different based upon the various backgrounds of potential clients. So therefore, it is important for anyone listening that is considering getting a loan or Refi should be calling in for a consultation.

Debbie moves onto the subject of DSCR or Debt Service programs for investors where the property qualifies on its own for the financing, not the borrower’s income.

Heidi then takes on bank statement loan programs for self-employed borrowers.

Next week, they will be talking about Divorce. What you need to know if you are trying to buy a new home or refinance your current home but the divorce is not final yet.

Wednesday, July 21st, 2021

What is going on in this week’s show?

Debbie Marcoux, the Mortgage Mom, brings in Co-Host, Heidi Slagle-Points, to talk Lending and Mortgage. They start off the show with their segment “Catching Up with Mom” where they both reflect on their weekends. Debbie asks her sound editor, Drewin Young, to write another jingle for her toll-free number.

Debbie gives a shot out to Seattle, WA and Las Vegas, NV since she is now on radio stations in those states.

She offers to interview, both on camera and on radio, any previous client willing to talk about their experience with her company. What better way to get the word out then real testimonials! YOU too can be on the show, just give Mortgage Mom Radio a call!

Since the show is interactive, the questions asked by listeners this week were as follows:

How often do I need to update documents and have my credit re-run to keep my Pre-Approval active?
I would like to buy a second home in Las Vegas, can you refer me to a new agent?
Can I put down 3% to buy a second primary residence?
Should I take a Home Equity Line of Credit to pull out cash from my free and clear home to purchase an investment property?

Debbie will take your questions “live” during the show. Text “MOM” to 844-935-3634 to receive the link to get in each week. You must call in during that hour while they are streaming live if you would like to be part of the show.

Debbie and Heidi talk current interest rates and Pace Hero Loans (loans for energy efficient improvements). Heidi drills down on this subject of Pace Hero Loans and expands on the benefits of refinancing them to lower monthly payments and monthly property taxes. Debbie then gets very detailed on how this Pace Hero Loan process works by giving different types of scenarios.

Wednesday, July 14th, 2021 – On today’s segment, Debbie brings in Loan Officer and Real-Estate Agent Heather Barkley-Kilpatrick to discuss important topics. They start off the show by answering comments and questions “live.” Debbie states that her show is FREE and that the goal of her show is to get her audience and clients educated on the Mortgage & Loan industry.

Debbie also makes an important announcement that her company is NOT affiliated with Movement Mortgage any longer for they are now with JMJ Financial. To avoid confusion and solicitation, Debbie asks that her audience members and clients should always contact her directly.

They talk about Bank Statement Loans and how beneficial that program can be for people that are self-employed.

Debbie explains a recent incident they had with a client after all the leg work had been done on the client’s loan. The story goes: The house the client was trying to buy was in complete shambles, but nobody knew that until the loan was on the verge of getting processed. Unfortunately, the client neglected to bring up the condition of the house. This situation can tie the hands of the lender. This incident also brings up the subject of Renovation Loans and how important it is for clients to always be upfront with their buying plans. Debbie claims that even if the house needs minimal remodeling, this needs to be disclosed to the lender. Debbie and her team will always lead her clients down the proper path if the clients are upfront and honest about their situation.

Debbie and Heather say that it is always a good time to buy, especially if you are buying a home to live in it. Real-estate is for the long term.

Wednesday, July 7th, 2021 – On today’s show, Debbie brings in Team Member and Loan Assistant Heidi Slagle-Points once again to talk about the Mortgage/Lending industry. They start off the show with their segment “Catching Up With Mom” where they both reflect on their 4th of July weekend .

Heidi then asks the audience and future buyers to not pay off their debt if it’s already being included on their loan. This will substantially delay the process due to the tremendous amount of extra paperwork, etc..

This was the first week that Debbie took live calls with questions during the YouTube Live Stream. How do you call us with your questions and get to hear yourself on radio? Text “MOM” to 844-935-3634 to opt in for a reminder text message each week with the link to click when we go live.

V.A. Loans cannot be used for investment properties, only primary residences
Heidi drills down on the benefits of doing a V.A. Cash-Out refinance

A Look Into the Markets

As we enter the second half of 2021, we want to review where we are with the economy, rates, and what to look for in the second half of the year. The 10-year note yield, a proxy for long-term rates, is hovering near 1.45%, matching multi-month lows. This has helped keep mortgage rates near 3%, below many economist expectations.

What happened? Why are rates still low, providing yet another opportunity for would-be homeowners? The bond market is forward-looking and is seeing slower progress on the job creation front. At the moment, there are still over 9M job openings, a record high. Additionally, while fears of higher and sustained inflation are all over the place, the bond market is currently telling us the fears are misguided. If future inflation is to be higher and persistent, rates would already be creeping higher.

This does not mean it’s clear sailing ahead for continued low rates. Over the next couple of months, we will be watching both the inflation a nd jobs data to determine when the Fed might start tapering bond purchases.

There are rumors amongst Wall Street that the Federal Reserve will start tapering mortgage bonds purchases first, meaning they will gradually buy fewer bonds. When the Fed mentions they will start buying less, that may be the start to higher mortgage rates. The main reason is mounting pressure to start buying fewer bonds and ultimately stop buying them all together, which means rates in the second half of 2021 are likely to be higher than they are right now.

On today’s show, Debbie brings in Team Member and Loan Officer Carrie Margulies to talk shop. They start the show off with “Catching Up with Mom” where they chat about last Father’s Day weekend, Debbie’s Lake Havasu birthday and the big upcoming fireworks concert in Moorpark/Thousand Oaks on July 3rd. Debbie even offers her audience two free tickets for that concert if they download the Mortgage Mom Radio App.

Carrie brings up the ongoing theme of clients having cash for a down-payment but not having proof of where it came from. Debbie and Carrie talk about the importance of depositing cash and letting it “season” in order for it to become usable funds. They drill down on how they can work with those amounts of cash by giving scenarios.

This leads them to the subject of “Gift of Equity Purchase.” Carrie expands on this subject by giving a current example of one of her loans and the benefits of “gifting.” Debbie expands even more on that topic when she talks about the “Parent to Child” gifting. They also take great questions on the subject of gifting from their audience.

Debbie is determined to get a jingle recorded for her new 800 number along with accepting phone calls “live” for her next show.

Rates are still phenomenal according to Debbie and Carrie so pulling cash out and doing a refi is beneficial at this time.

They talk Escrow, title insurance, cancelling mortgage insurance, paying off student loans, homeowner’s insurance, investment properties, closing costs and inherence of property taxes.

Debbie states that the goal of her show is to educate her audience with the wisdom her team have already acquired through their many combined years of finance. She says that there is no such thing as a dumb question. Reach out today!

Debbie is excited to finally announce that her 1-800 number is now available, which also accepts texts.

They talk about Arizona heat vs. Southern California heat. The conversation leads to how now is the perfect time to get home improvements done.

Debbie and Heidi drill down on FHA’s, modifications, conventional and USDA loans.
