Welcome to Mid MO Mortgage Advice

This Blog has been created as an informal medium to answer any type of mortgage question or scenario. With all the mortgage and real estate activity over the last few years (increasing home values, construction boom, refinances, debt consolidation, second homes, investment properties), mortgage programs and opportunities are rampant. And like any other industry, there are opinions from every direction. Let's use this venue for a no-holds-barred Q and A. Please submit any questions or queries you would like addressed. Be as specific as you like.

As moderator, let me explain my background. I am a Senior Mortgage Broker at Professional Mortgage Group still very active in the real estate industry. I have nearly 10 years experience with every facet of residential real estate finance. I have helped borrowers and investors all over the country, but I am never surprised by the unique questions and scenarios presented by my clients. Which brings me to the purpose of my blog. My goal is to de-mystify some of the complicated aspects of securing financing for your new home. The dream of homeownership doesn't have to be complicated.

So, I welcome and invite you to contribute or question any problems, successes, or aspect of real estate finance. Anything from pre-qualification to closing, we can address in an open and unbiased forum. All real estate professionals are welcome to contribute. Title Agents, Appraisers, Realtors, and Lenders, are all invited to bring their experiences here.

Thanks in advance, I look forward to your input.

Your moderator,

Chris Crocker
