📣BIG NEWS

We’re officially licensed to originate mortgages in Oregon.

This one means more to me than just adding another state.

I lived in Oregon from 2012 to 2014, and it’s a place that had a huge impact on my life. I fell in love with the people, the culture, and the sense of community. It was a season where I learned the importance of service, hard work, and showing up for others. A lot has changed since then, but that desire to help people hasn’t.

So it feels full circle to now be licensed in Oregon and able to serve homeowners and buyers there through Traverse Home Loans.

Our mission is simple. Help people traverse one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives with clarity, honesty, and real guidance.

Mortgages Done Differently isn’t just a tagline. It’s how we show up.

Oregon, I’m excited to be back.

🚨Bonus: If you can guess the exact locations in these photos, I’ll send a gift card to the first person who gets them right.

Huge shoutout to Peak Junk Removal for knocking this out of the park.

I hired them to remove a large pile of dirt, clay, and broken concrete left over from a previous project, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish.

Gaige was easy to communicate with, his quote was very well priced, and he and his colleague completed the job in no time. No hassle. No excuses. Just solid, professional work.

If you have any junk removal needs, I highly recommend reaching out to Peak Junk Removal. They’ll take care of you.

We lost 3 to 2 in the championship today.

It’s never easy coming that close, but I’m so grateful for this season and what it meant to me.

A little over a year ago, I was learning how to walk again after ACL and meniscus surgery. There were times I didn’t know if I’d ever play again, let alone step onto the field in a final and score a goal.

That moment reminded me how far I’ve come and how much I love this game. The competition, the friendships, the grind, and the feeling of being out there again made every setback worth it.

To my teammates, thank you for an incredible season. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to share this journey with.

Proud of what we built and already looking forward to next year.

🏡 House hacking isn’t about living for free — it’s about living for less.

If your mortgage or rent eats up most of your monthly budget, this strategy can help you turn your home into an income-producing asset.

Whether it’s renting out an ADU, buying a duplex and living in one side, or doing room-by-room rentals, you can offset a big chunk of your housing costs — sometimes even enough to cut them in half.

The best part? You can stack this with tax benefits and low-down-payment loans to make the numbers work even better.

💬 Curious if house hacking could work for you? DM me the word “HACK” and I’ll help you run the numbers before you start house hunting.

🏡💰 The Hidden Tax Benefit of Owning a Home 💰🏡

Most people assume tax advantages only come from rental properties, where you can deduct expenses and lower taxable income.

But your primary residence has one of the biggest tax breaks available!

✨ Capital Gains Exclusion ✨

Here’s how it works:

✅ If you sell your primary home, you can keep up to $250K (single) or $500K (married) in profit—TAX-FREE!

✅ Unlike stocks 📈 or investment properties 🏘️, you don’t owe capital gains tax on that appreciation.

✅ You must have lived in the home for at least 2 of the last 5 years to qualify.

🔎 This is one of the best tax shelters available to homeowners, and many don’t even realize it!

Every client I’ve worked with in the last 6 months has had the same question:

“Should I buy now or wait?”

Truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

Here’s how I help my clients make the right decision for their situation:

✅ Run the numbers, not the headlines – Focus on your personal budget, monthly payment, and long-term financial goals instead of waiting for the “perfect” market conditions.

✅ Factor in rent vs. ownership costs – Rents continue to rise, while buying locks in a fixed payment. Even if rates change, refinancing later is an option.

✅ Consider your timeline – If you plan to stay in a home for 3-5+ years, buying now could build equity sooner rather than later.

If you’re wondering the same thing, let’s talk!

Real estate investing isn’t just about rent vs. mortgage.

To make smart investment decisions, you need to see the full picture.

I built a rental property pro forma calculator that helps investors analyze:

✔ Cap Rate
✔ Cash-on-Cash ROI
✔ Property Management Costs
✔ Rehab Expenses
✔ Capital Expenditures

Who you hire matters!

Back in November 2024, I had a call with a long-time client who wanted to explore moving to Florida.
We talked strategy, loan options, and what it would take to make it happen.

Fast forward to today—he just got a high-paying, salaried job offer in the area he wants to move to.

But there’s one challenge: high credit card debt that’s keeping his credit score from being where we’d like it to be.

Here’s the plan we put together:

✅ Once his current home sells, he’ll use part of the proceeds to pay off credit card debt, improving his credit score and increasing his buying power.

✅ We reviewed FHA vs. Conventional loan options to determine the best fit.

-Conventional requires 5% down, while FHA allows for 3.5% down.

-FHA offers lower monthly mortgage insurance—a $266/month difference.

-FHA rates were over 1% lower for his credit profile, resulting in a $647 lower monthly payment.

✅ He’ll be purchasing a duplex as his primary residence, allowing him to use 75% of projected rental income to offset his mortgage payment.

This is why having the right strategy—and the right mortgage broker—matters.

If you’re a buyer thinking about making a move—or a realtor working with clients who need a solid game plan—let’s connect and make it happen.
