Are You Ignoring Your Biggest Financial Asset?
How often do you check your bank account? Weekly? Daily? Multiple times a day if you’ve just booked a vacation or gone on a spending spree?
Now, ask yourself this: When was the last time you checked the equity in your home? Are you ignoring your biggest financial asset?
If you’re like most people, your bank balance gets far more attention than your home’s equity. But here’s the truth: Your home is likely your biggest financial asset—and it plays a huge role in your long-term wealth and financial security.
Why Home Equity Deserves More of Your Attention
Home equity is the difference between what your home is worth and what you still owe on your mortgage. As you pay down your loan and as your home’s value appreciates, your equity grows—often quietly, behind the scenes, while you go about your daily life.
It might not feel as tangible as the money sitting in your checking account, but over time, home equity can outpace your savings account by a long shot. The earlier you buy, the more time your equity has to grow. Not sure where to start but know that purchasing a home is in your future, don’t wait, connect now.
Real Estate as a Wealth-Building Tool
Buying a home early in life is one of the smartest financial moves you can make. Not only are you avoiding years of paying someone else’s mortgage (hello, rent!), but you are also building a financial cushion that can benefit you for decades.
Think of it this way: While your rent payments disappear each month, your mortgage payments are gradually turning into ownership—and growing equity. Over the years, that equity builds a powerful financial resource.
Equity in Retirement: More Than Just a Number
Fast forward to your retirement years. Maybe your 401(k) and savings accounts aren’t quite where you hoped they’d be. This is where home equity becomes your unsung hero.
Options like a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or a reverse mortgage can give you access to the equity you’ve built—without selling your home. This can be especially helpful for managing retirement expenses, covering healthcare costs, or simply enhancing your quality of life.
As Bill Perkins highlights in his book Die With Zero, the goal isn’t to hoard wealth indefinitely—it’s to strategically use it to maximize life experiences. Your home equity can help fund those bucket-list adventures, support family members, or allow you to retire more comfortably.
So, What Should You Do?
- Check your equity: Contact a local real estate professional (hi, that’s us!) for a quick home valuation. You might be surprised at how much your home is worth today.
- Understand your options: From HELOCs to smart refinancing, knowing what tools are available can empower you to make the most of your investment.
- Start early: If you haven’t purchased a home yet, consider it an investment in your future self. The earlier you start, the longer your equity has to grow.
Final Thoughts
Your bank account shows you what’s possible today. Your home equity shows you what’s possible for your future.
So the next time you log into your banking app, take a moment to think bigger. Your financial health isn’t just about what’s liquid—it’s about what you’re building. Real estate is one of the most reliable ways to build long-term wealth.
Want to know how much equity you have—and what it could do for your future? Let’s talk.

Even if you are just considering a move, you should start by talking to a trusted real estate agent.

Your agent can also help you connect with lenders, inspectors, and other key professionals that will help you every step of the way.

4️⃣ Research Neighborhoods
Beyond the house itself, the neighborhood and community matter. Look into factors like local schools, amenities, commute times, and potential future developments. Consider how these factors affect your lifestyle now and in the future. Your home should not only fit your lifestyle, but it should fit your budget as well!

Maximize Your Tax Refund
Maximize Your Tax Refund: Invest in Your Future Through Real Estate
Tax season often brings a pleasant surprise – a refund. As of February 7, 2025, the IRS reported an average refund amount of $2,065. That is an 18.6% increase from the previous year. Check out the details here.
If you’re contemplating how to make the most of this windfall, consider channeling it into real estate. Continue reading to discover several ways you can maximize your tax refund by investing in real estate.
Building Wealth Through Homeownership
Homeownership is a proven strategy for building wealth. Consider this, median sales price for all the Northwest MLS Housing Market (Washington State), rose to $640,000 in 2024. This is up 6.7% from the year prior. This positive increase reflects steady appreciation over the years.
By investing in property, you not only secure a place to call home but also position yourself to benefit from potential market gains.
Smart Ways to Utilize Your Tax Refund in Real Estate
Boost Your Down Payment
Saving for a down payment is often a significant hurdle for prospective homeowners. While the traditional 20% down payment offers benefits like avoiding private mortgage insurance, it’s not a strict requirement. If 20% seems unattainable you’re not alone. NerdWallet exposed that in 2023, first-time buyers typically put down 8% of the home’s purchase price.
Whether your goal is 20 or 8% your tax refund can bring you closer to this goal. The closer you are to your goal makes homeownership more attainable.
Cover Closing Costs
Closing costs encompass various fees, including loan origination, appraisal, and title insurance, typically ranging from 2% to 5% of the loan amount. For example, you would pay between $10,000 to $25,000 in closing costs in addition to the down payment on a $500,000 home loan.
Allocating your tax refund toward these expenses can ease the financial load at closing, allowing you to preserve other savings.
Purchase Mortgage Points
If current interest rates are a concern, consider using your refund to buy mortgage points. Each point, costing 1% of your loan amount, can reduce your interest rate, leading to substantial savings over time.
This upfront investment can lower your monthly payments and decrease the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
Make Extra Principal Payments
Applying additional funds directly to your mortgage principal can shorten your loan term and reduce the total interest paid. Even small extra payments can have a significant impact over time. Always consult with your lender to ensure there are no prepayment penalties.
Hot tip: Consider making an extra payment every year (perhaps your tax refund) and you could save thousands in interest over the course of the loan. For example, if your monthly mortgage payment is $3,000 and you making one extra payment a year it has the potential to save you $100,000 in interest and could cut 6 years off your mortgage.
Just imagine your future self, lounging in your dream home, sipping a cup of coffee, and thinking, “I’m glad I invested that tax refund wisely!” By making strategic decisions today, you can pave the way for a comfortable and secure tomorrow.
Partner with a Real Estate Professional
Embarking on the real estate journey can be complex. You don’t have to navigate it alone. A knowledgeable real estate agent can provide personalized advice, helping you make informed decisions that align with your financial goals. If you’re ready to explore your options, connect with us today. Â Let’s turn your tax refund into a steppingstone toward your dream home.
Herbed Chicken and Wine Sauce
A Taste of History: Rediscovering Windermere’s 1972 Recipe Collection
Some stories are best told through flavors, and today, we have a special one to share. This story begins in 1972 when a group of Windermere real estate agents compiled a collection of their favorite recipes into a cherished cookbook. Over the years, this book found its way into the hands of a Seattle attorney, who, decades later, was preparing to sell his home. In a heartwarming twist of fate, he reached out to his Windermere broker and returned the cookbook, bringing it full circle after all these years.
Now, as we flip through its well-worn pages, we are excited to bring these timeless recipes back to life. Among them, we discovered a delightful classic—one that captures the warmth and community spirit that has always defined Windermere.

Don’t be Spooked when buying a rental
Don’t be Spooked when buying a rental –
We have connected with Michelle Schmidt from Movement Mortgage who has provided information from a lenders perspective on DSCR Loans.
Here’s what she has to say:Â
DSCR loans, or Debt Service Coverage Ratio loans, are typically used in commercial real estate and investment properties. The DSCR is a financial metric that measures a property’s ability to generate enough income to cover its debt obligations. Follow along for a quick breakdown.
Key Points about DSCR Loans:
- DSCR Definition:
- DSCR = Net Operating Income (NOI) / Total Debt Service (TDS).
- A DSCR of greater than 1 indicates that the property generates more income than needed to cover debt payments.
- Importance:
- Lenders use DSCR to assess the risk of a loan. A higher DSCR suggests lower risk, as the property is more likely to generate sufficient cash flow.
- 20% – 35% down depending on the scenario to get the DSCR ratio to work.
- Common Ratios:
- A DSCR of 1.2 is often considered a minimum for many lenders, meaning the property generates 20% more income than required to meet debt obligations.
- Types of Properties:
- Commonly used for single family residence, multifamily units, and other income-generating properties.
- Loan Terms:
- Interest rates and terms can vary based on the DSCR, property type, and borrower profile.
- Considerations:
- Lenders may require detailed financial documentation to calculate the DSCR accurately. The appraiser provides a rent schedule to determine the allowable rent.
If you are considering purchasing a rental property and want to learn more about your options, have specific questions or just need more details, don’t hesitate to connect with us and ask. Connect with us here or directly with Michelle by visiting here.
