What To Know About Home Warranties
When you are purchasing a home, it can feel like there is an endless list of tasks and have-to’s before you even close. Purchasing homeowner’s insurance, for instance, is an important step that is both mandatory and will also protect you and your belongings from severe damage. Similarly, as you are buying a house, you may be confronted with the option to purchase a home warranty. While it may seem adjacent to insurance (and therefore beneficial), it is its own thing entirely, and might not cover what you’d expect. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas discusses everything you need to know about home warranties. (more…)

What To Know About Investment Properties
For many, owning an investment property is a great way to generate passive income. After you put down the initial money to purchase it, you can either sit back and collect rent or you can spruce it up, wait for the property to appreciate in value, and then sell for a profit. While this certainly sounds attractive to many people, actually funding the property can seem daunting. Taking out a new loan when you already have a mortgage is a big step, but it is certainly attainable. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas discusses the benefits of an investment property and how we can help you finance one. (more…)
What Are Your Refinancing Options?
Refinancing a mortgage loan can be a helpful way to save money over a long period of time. If you plan on owning a home for a long time, there is a good chance that the initial terms of your mortgage — when you first got it — might not remain ideal over the years. If interest rates drop or you increase your income to where you can pay off the loan quicker than originally planned, refinancing your loan could be advantageous. In today’s blog, Family Home Loan Texas discusses the different refinancing options that you can choose. (more…)
