Mortgage Term of the Day:
An interest-only loan allows you to pay only the interest on your mortgage for a set period (usually 5–10 years).

💡 What does that mean?
🔹 Lower monthly payments—at first
🔹 No reduction in the loan principal during the interest-only period
🔹 Payments increase after the interest-only term ends

Best for: Short-term ownership, investment properties, or buyers who expect higher income in the future.
📌 But be careful—once that interest-only period ends, payments can jump!

Mortgage Term of the Day:
Your Debt Ratio (also called Debt-to-Income Ratio or DTI) is a key number lenders use to decide if you can afford a mortgage.

💡 It compares how much you owe each month 💸 to how much you earn 🧾.

👉 Lower DTI = better chance of getting approved!
Most lenders like to see a DTI of 43% or less.
