Use Home Equity To Boost Your Retirement
If you are nearing retirement age and own a home, there is a good chance that you either have your mortgage fully paid off or you are getting close. Over time, you have put a lot of equity into your home. Home equity is the amount of money you’ve put into your home versus what you still owe. While having a lot of equity provides you with security — both mentally and financially — it can also be used to help you live more comfortably and even help you fund your retirement, especially in 2022 when interest rates are at an all-time low. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas discusses the benefits of tapping into this equity and the different ways you can do so. (more…)

When Do You Need A Home Appraisal?
Just because someone is selling a home at a certain price, it doesn’t mean that it is the true value of the house. While right now, home prices are skyrocketing in North Texas, and you will likely pay more for a house than you would in previous years, you need to be aware of its real value. This will determine what you can expect to sell for in the future and can also give you an idea of what a lender will provide for a mortgage. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas talks about home appraisals and the important role they play when it comes to buying, selling, and refinancing a home. (more…)
The Basics Of Buying A Home
When you are trying to navigate buying a home, especially if it is your first time, there is a lot to juggle. From finding a realtor to making a bid on the perfect home, you surely have a full plate. Part of this process, that often gets overlooked, is how you are going to pay for it. Of course, you know that you are going to find a mortgage and purchase your home via this lend, but there are still many things to keep in mind about this aspect of the process. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas breaks down the basics of home loans and what you need to remember when beginning your home-buying journey.

In today’s community blog, Family Home Loan Texas talks about some of the best family-friendly events happening across the DFW metroplex over the next couple of days. (more…)
Is Now A Good Time To Refinance?
It is always important to consider ways you can save money. It is admittedly difficult to stay on top of all of your finances and bills, especially now that so many things are automated. Even keeping track of all of your streaming services — we’ve all forgotten to cancel what was supposed to be a free, month-long trial — can be arduous. Similarly, it is easy to fall into a cycle in which you simply make your monthly mortgage payments and go on with your life. While having this security and peace of mind is alluring, it could cause you to spend more money than you need. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas discusses refinancing and the ways it can save you significant amounts of money throughout the life of your mortgage. (more…)
