In this episode of The Brutally Honest Loan Officers Podcast, Stephen Brock and Derick Brown break down the latest tax changes that could put more money in your pocket — and make homeownership more attainable. From a bigger Child Tax Credit to a higher standard deduction for seniors, and the permanent tax-deductibility of PMI, these updates can improve your cash flow and even help with mortgage approval.
Stephen and Derick explain why these changes matter for first-time buyers, current homeowners, and retirees looking to move or downsize. Plus, they share why the current buyers’ market creates unique opportunities to negotiate seller concessions, secure lower effective payments, and potentially get ahead of the competition before rates drop.
If you’ve been on the fence about buying, this episode will show you how smart timing and new tax perks can work in your favor.
