Tuesday 1/6/26: Your Money Matters Radio Show & Medicare & More Brought to you by the Silver Sherpa

Today’s Guests:
On this episode of The Your Money Matters Radio Show, Kurt Rogers, Managing Broker at Affordable Interest Mortgage is with us to discuss
what truly determines your mortgage interest rate and why credit score plays the biggest role. While factors like income, equity, loan-to-value (LTV), and loan amount matter, the most influential is your credit score, which ranges from 300 (high risk) to 850 (low risk). Major lenders like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae handle about 90% of all mortgages, and each loan must include Loan Level Pricing Adjustments (LLPAs) fees that reflect borrower risk. Kurt breaks down how credit scores directly impact costs: a 680 vs. 720 FICO can mean thousands in added fees or higher rates. Other risk factors include property type, loan purpose, and cash-out refinances. He also reviews what affects credit scores payment history (35%), credit utilization (30%), and credit age, mix, and new credit (35% combined). Kurt Rogers is our exclusive Mortgage Broker. Call Kurt at (720) 895-0500 and explore your mortgage refinance options if you have high interest debt! Kurt is saving real clients, real money! Check out the website at www.aimortgage.net.
