On today's program we have Charles Bachmann, a mortgage broker who started in the mortgage business in 1987 as a summer job. Charles has gone on to manage branches for national lenders such as Home Savings of America, Emery Federal Credit Union, and, most recently, American Financial Network over the last decade. He's closed 1000's of loans for people over the last 30 years and still loves helping people get into their first home or purchase of a second home or an investment property. We're talking underwriting guidelines, direction of interest rates and property values, as well as COVID lending overlays to empower you with the knowledge you need to find the right home!
