If you’re thinking about purchasing a home or refinancing, chances are you’ve got a ton of information flying at you. And with that, you probably have many questions, like: What’s the current mortgage rate? What type of loan is the best deal for me? What exactly do I need to know about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Does the Fed actually have an impact on rates? And the list goes on. Trying to keep up with the ever-evolving mortgage market can be a job, literally. Surprisingly, people tend to have more opportunities than they realize. In a new episode of A Place of Possibility, Richard and Angela are joined by Senior Loan Officer, Erin Ekstrum, of Wymac Capital, Inc.

- The different types of loans
- New loan limits for 2022
- Pre-approval insights for first-time buyers
