What we emphasize
No secret loopholes. No one-size-fits-all payoff claims.
The useful questions are straightforward: How does cash flow change the outstanding balance? How does daily interest work? What happens if rates rise? How much liquidity remains? What is the current fixed-mortgage alternative? And does the actual lender program available to you make sense?
