5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Kate Day by Jason F - Kate and Tim were able to answer all my questions and explain each part of the loan process. Most importantly, when I told them I wanted to differ closing costs they helped me develop a strategy to get that accomplished and make the finances work. They locked my rate in at the right time and got my overall payment to be a few hundred dollars less that what I had been anticipating.

Common debts included in DTI:
🚗 Car loans
🎓 Student loans
💳 Credit card payments
