Two Reasons To Refinance

The interest rates are at a low right now and a lot of home owners are wondering, should we be looking into refinancing? If this is you and you are wondering why should I refinance, here are two reasons why refinancing could pay off for you. 

1. Shorten the term of your loan

Many people think that with refinancing the payments to shorten your loan will be way to overwhelming and expensive. Actually though, with the interest rates so low right now shortening your loan might not be as expensive as you thought. Say you had a 30 year mortgage and want to cut it in half to a 15 year mortgage. Many people can do that without the payment every month sky rocketing. By cutting your mortgage in half will give you 15 years of mortgage payments to spend elsewhere. What would you do with that money?? 

2. Lower Interest Rate: 

Like I said before, rates are low right now. Before when you originally set your mortgage up rates could've been more than double than what they are now. By taking the time to look into rates right now you could save yourself thousands of dollars in the long run. Lower rate= less money you are owing. Yes, the paper work and process is tedious and takes some time but, in the end you save money. 


Ultimately you are the only person who knows if refinancing is for you. Set goals before even looking into refinancing. Do you want low low payments, do you want to cut your time more than half, or do you want a mix of both? Also if moving is in your near future maybe refinancing is not the smartest move. Take your time to research about refinancing and browse around different providers. 


Just think... what would you want to do with thousands you save?

How Much Do You Know About the Science of MOTIVATION?

The last time you struggled with getting yourself motivated to meet a deadline or complete a project, what did you do to “snap out it” and get the task done? In his e-book, Unhooked: How To Break Bad Habits & Make Good Ones That Stick, Sam Thomas Davies writes about the brain science behind motivation and forming good habits.

Davies perspective on motivation and changing behavior is refreshing and most importantly, very do-able because it’s based upon common sense thinking and getting to know yourself as the “expert” on your own choices and behavior patterns.

Take for example chapter 2, “How to Get Motivated When You’re Not in the Mood.” Sam states that motivation is an emotion that is not always predictable or easy to control.  He puts will power into the same category. In order to compensate for the ebb and flow of our levels of both motivation and will power, he suggests mapping out a step by step guide to helping yourself get motivated that’s highly personalized because it’s written by your most important stakeholder- YOU. Want to find out how this highly effective strategy works?

ACCESS the Free e-book HERE

“There are multiple ways to get motivated, but none are more powerful than writing your own strategy guide. After all, no one knows you better that you know yourself. Use it to your advantage. Getting motivated isn’t hard: you just need to remember to read the instructions.”

Join our Frequent Flyer Miles Contest to Benefit Make-A-Wish®

Miles hanging around in your frequent flyer account?  How many frequent flyer miles do you have just hanging around in your skymiles account that you cannot use? If you are like me, I earn enough miles to have an account, but I never earn enough to fly anywhere with them.

Take a look at this review from another of Randy’s really satisfied customers:

”I am now the proud owner of beautiful home!!!” Even though I had been told, “No” by another mortgage company prior to coming to VanDyk, Randy Davis closed my home loan in less than 25 days.  This was a difficult task because I wanted to use my VA loan entitlement for a second time. (DONE!) Additionally, my credit was far less than perfect. None of these challenges stopped VanDyk from helping me secure my home loan. He treated me with dignity and respect from the very beginning of our working relationship. He “ran everything up the flagpole “as I asked.  I received excellent service and I was very satisfied with Randy and VanDyk.  – S. Grasso
