Major Announcement...

I am excited to tell you starting the first Thursday after Labor Day, September 7th, I will be exclusively featured on the Number One news talk radio station 620 WTMJ.

Every Thursday I will be featured on the 620 WTMJ website in its Podcast section doing the "Mortgage Minute with Kevin Kowalke." For those of you that don't know what a Podcast is (just like I didn't) you can go to the website link www.620wtmj.com and in the upper left hand corner you will see the Podcasts button.

This is going to be a lot of fun and will be a great way for me to educate those who do not get the correct information when it comes to mortgage financing.

Having said that, I need your help. I want this to be a huge success. A bigger success than anyone at 620 WTMJ would have ever expected. Would all of you please go to the 620 WTMJ website every Thursday and download my weekly segment? If it's not asking too much, could you also send out an email to all of your friends telling them to download these information packed segments? I will only be able to make this successful if I can count on you.

I know most of you will help make this a Tremendous Success. In advance, I Thank You!

Don't forgot to read my regular weekly post below talking about Adjustable Rate Mortgages. Until next time...

A Call to ARMs...

There are almost $2 Trillion worth of adjustable rate mortgages that are coming due now and in the near future. This could have a major impact on a household's monthly budget. In some cases it will put a household over the edge. It's no fun living for your home. The last you want is to have ever extra dollar you get going to keep up with the bills. So, what should you do?

First, gather up your mortgage paperwork and all of your other bills(car loans, student loans, credit cards,etc.). If you have a written out budget, have that handy. This is the information you need to make sure we would put together a financially sound new plan.

Second, call to set up an appointment with me at 414-453-7620. If you fax the information to me ahead of time, at 414-453-9035, it will give me a head start in having a plan put together. You can also email the information to kevinkowalke@aol.com.

Third, have an idea of what the value of your home is. This will make it easier to figure out what options will be available.

Finally, when you come in for your appointment, we will discuss what strategy we will take to make sure we have you in the best financial position possible. It's that easy.

I encourage you to send this segment to anyone you know who is in a situation where their mortgage is adjusting. Everyone needs to have a plan for the here and now but also for the near future.

Don't hesitate to call, fax or email your questions. Remember, information is power. Until next time...
