Michael Trickey is author of two real estate mortgage books:
Finding Home: Everything You Need to Know – And Do – For Home Buying Success
Finding Home – Over 50: Achieving Your Housing Needs and Life List Dreams in Retirement
Michael is a CPA, and an expert in residential real estate finance transactions. With 36 years of experience in the field, he can help those in your audience to more responsibly purchase and finance the largest single asset most will buy.
Michael will come on your show or to your event and talk about common challenges first-time homebuyers face and how to overcome them. These include challenges with obtaining a down payment, dealing with high credit card and student loan balances, and where to get the right kind of mortgage loan. He will also discuss the impact of current events, such as recent increases in mortgage loan interest rates, trends toward multigenerational housing, and likely impacts of the new Administration’s housing policies.
