Picture this: It was Thanks Giving 2013 and I was in charge (self appointed) of the gravy.
I was mixing oil, flour and Turkey juice into what I thought would be the “crown liquid” of our families meal.
I essentially made flour paste.
Trust me, it looked like gravy but when I asked my wife to taste if for me, it was as if I just served her a “sour patch kid”. I think she even took a step backward from the serving spoon I was holding up to her mouth.
2014’s rendition of my gravy though, would have made Cornel Sanders proud :-). In fact, if I wasn’t seen making it in the kitchen, I’m sure I would have been accused of sneaking some in from KFC.
American Thanks Giving, just around the corner, is a second chance for you to right the wrongs you may have experienced in October. I know for me, Canadian Thanks Giving holiday creeps up QUICKLY.
It’s not often in life you get a second chance at something so soon (a Mortgage is certainly one of those things). Usually I have to wait much longer to exercise some demons.
What do you have planned for the American Thanks Giving in 2014?
Maybe you’ll use this time as a reason to re-connect with some friends you haven’t seen?
Maybe, like me, you’ll put the fork down 1/2 a plate sooner so you can sleep at night instead of tossing and turning until 4 AM full of delicious Turkey dinner.
Maybe you’ll just let the weekend pass, seeing how this is an American holiday anyway?
Maybe you’ll right the wrongs from October?
Getting A Do Over Is Good – But Isn’t It Better To Do It Right First?
I speak to people months leading up to the purchase of their home.
This is their chance to get their Mortgage done right.
Some of you may be looking at your first Mortgage and must be wondering what I mean by “right”.
Well, qualifying for a Mortgage you can afford typically isn’t an issue if you’re working, pay your bills and taxes on time.
Getting your Mortgage “done right” is more about getting it THEN paying it off. Really, this comes down to Mortgage strategy specifically for you.
This isn’t something Banks like talking about though.
You see, the longer you’re lending money from them, at higher interest rates, the more they make from you.
And that’s why when I speak with clients purchasing a home and obtaining their Mortgage, they learn how to keep the Bankers hands out of their pockets (you remember the “hands in my pocket” commercial jingle, right?).
So if you’re thinking about buying a home, let’s start your journey off right by FIRST understanding how much you can afford. Then we’ll talk about Mortgage Strategy.
