Mortgage points—also called discount points—are optional fees you can pay at closing to reduce your interest rate. Each point typically costs 1% of the loan amount and may help lower your monthly payment and the total interest you pay over the life of the loan.
At The Money Store, I help homebuyers evaluate whether paying points makes sense based on their budget and long-term plans. If you're exploring your mortgage options, reach out and I’ll help you build a financing strategy that fits your goals.

In honor of National Home Improvement Month, I’m sharing tips on updates big and small you can make to boost your home’s resale value.
Kitchens are one of the biggest decision-makers for buyers. The good news? You don’t always need a full remodel to make a strong impression. Strategic improvements like refreshed cabinets, modern lighting, and updated finishes can go a long way in making your space feel move-in ready without the full renovation price tag.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) is a federal law that helps ensure you’re treated fairly when applying for a mortgage or other credit. It prohibits lenders from discriminating based on factors such as race, color, religion, national origin, s*x, marital status, or age, and it gives you the right to an explanation if your credit application is denied.
At The Money Store, we’re committed to fair, transparent lending and guiding you every step of the way. If you’re planning to buy or refinance, contact me today, and I’ll help you explore your home financing options with confidence.

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for May Shalhoub by Lourdez L - We know May Shaloub for a long time. We had took loans from her for our other real properties we owned. She's very helpful to us her clients and she's direct to the point telling us what we needed to do to process the loan application as soon as possible. I'm sure May also know us very well. Joe and I are very serious too when we wanted to invest in real properties. That's why when we're ready again to invest in real properties , we will look for May Shaloub's phone number. We trusted her because to us she's honest and dependable.

National Home Improvement Month is the perfect time to think about which updates will make the biggest impact when it’s time to sell your home.
The good news? You don’t need to take on a long, expensive renovation project to make a difference.
Something as simple as replacing an old, damaged, or dated garage door can instantly boost your home’s curb appeal. It’s also one of those improvements that often delivers a strong return on investment.

When selling your home, first impressions can make or break a buyer’s interest, and your home’s exterior is the very first thing they’ll see.
The good news is that you don’t need a full exterior overhaul to make a strong impact. Simple updates like refreshing your front door, improving lighting, and tidying up landscaping can instantly boost your home’s appeal. And if there are larger concerns, addressing those early can help avoid complications during home sale negotiations.
Your home’s exterior truly sets the tone for everything that follows.
