Let's talk about down payment options
Wondering where your down payment will come from? There are several acceptable sources you can use to fund your home purchase. Here are some of the most common options:
Alternative financial sources
This might include liquidating stocks or other investments, taking a loan from your 401(k), or borrowing against other assets through a secured line of credit.
Real estate proceeds
If you currently own property, you can use the proceeds from selling your home or other investment properties to fund your new purchase.
Gift funds from close relatives
These can come from parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, or uncles – but they must be truly gifted, with no expectation of repayment.

I’ve spent over 20 years in the banking and mortgage world, but I’ll be the first to tell you: I know exactly how it feels to be on your side of the desk. I’ve bought the homes and felt that 'what-if' knot in my stomach. I know that behind every loan application is a real family, a big dream, and a lot of hard work.
I’m a Fargo-Moorhead girl through and through, and while I’m licensed to help people in 48 states, my heart is right here in the Midwest. When I’m not hunting down 'gotchas' for my clients, you can usually find me at the lake in Purham, spending time with my hubby and dogs, or supporting the Homeward Animal Shelter.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the process or you’re ready to make a bold move, I want you to know: You’ve got this, and we’ve got you. Let’s get you home.
Here's a little about me
I'm Kayla, but my friends call me 'KK'
