Do new metro lines increase home value? I have a few properties in Northern Virginia and I keep hearing about extending the silver and orange lines.

Wondering if there will be a big upside I can look forward to in the next decade.

Leesburg? That’s basically West Virginia - nobody is using metro out there. Maybe Centerville it would make a difference.

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time. Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal.

If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat
