"There’s been a lot of focus and discussion over the aggressive interest rate hikes this year, the wreckage inflation is having on everyday spending, and the rising costs of mortgage borrowing. For homebuyers, the environment might resonate as nearly impossible to surmount. But mortgage lenders can help homebuyers look beyond the doom and gloom and uncover some real opportunities to be competitive and successful in today’s housing market."

"Our heroes who serve, protect and sacrifice to make our communities a better place deserve as much as anyone to be able to live in those very communities, but market conditions make homeownership a continuing struggle. Setting aside rising interest rates, lack of supply and falling affordability, the salaries of working-class heroes, be it police officers or teachers, are not exactly making anyone wealthy. But we know owning a home will."
