Anyone know any good mortgage lenders in the DC area or in general? Making a little over 80k, with a 720+ credit score, trying to see if I can get approved for any new home buyer programs. Thanks in advance.

I used McLean mortgage for my first purchase in 2017. Just completed my refi with them this week. Highly recommend.

I also use McLean mortgage. Just used them last week. Shout out Melissa bell. Tell her I sent you.

We used First Savings and have had a good experience with them (purchase last year, doing a refi now). Saw that K2 recommended Greg Kingsbury and wanted to mention that our rate from First Savings was 37.5 bp lower than Greg’s when we bought last year

Seconding First Savings. Have done two loans thru them going back to 2013. Working on a refi as we speak and closing on Monday. Excellent folks and have always beaten competitors’ rates

Ingrid Rapavy at First Home Mortgage is amazing. Have bought twice with her. Best rates around, too.

Highly recommend ivydirect.com! You can check rate, lock rate and finish the entire mortgage application process on their website. And their rate is usually pretty good!

We used Atlantic City Mortgage for a VA loan and were pleased.

Look at DC’a first time home Buyer programs, at that salary you still qualify for down payment assistancez

Is it a good idea to invest in your UK pension fund over the max your employer will contribute/match? This may potentially lower income tax but then one can't really access the pension pot till retirement. Or is it better to invest post-tax income into a stocks and shares ISA to avoid capital gains tax? TIA!

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
