MORE 2 Build

MORE 2 Build helps build communities by building businesses and housing.

They recognize the problem to be the shifting of wealth out of minority and socially-economically disadvantaged neighborhoods that result in gentrification and poverty.

MORE 2 Build’s solution is to get the proper tools and knowledge into the hands of the disadvantaged so that they are empowered to do MORE!

The result is economic opportunity and wealth building amongst historically disadvantaged minority communities.

Our Mortgages Are On A Mission

Thanks again to our borrowers! Every home loan we close enables us to invest in charities who are working to create a positive change in the world.

Years ago when Chong Yi opened his branch, his goal was to help those in need in his community. Chong and his teammates developed Mortgage On A Mission so that they could not only help families achieve their dream of homeownership, but take some of those rewards and put it back into our global community.

Since then, The Yi Team has been able to donate over $100,000 to American Cancer Society, DIPG, Heartly House, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Rainbow Place Shelter, Alzheimer’s Association, LovePaws and MORE 2 Build!

Wendt Center donation

“I had an amazing experience working with Erin Finke to secure our home loan 6 years ago. She contacted me recently to make a donation to the Wendt Center where I work as a trauma and grief psychotherapist. This donation will allow our clinical team to continue to provide quality therapy services to adults and children healing from trauma and grief. It means a lot to me that Erin would remember the important work I do, and for the Yi team to contribute to the healing of the clients we serve.”

Alzheimer's Association and dementia

The Alzheimer’s Association

The Alzheimer’s Association began in 1980 thanks to caregivers and individuals affected by dementia who came together. They recognized the need for an organization that would unite caregivers, provide support to those facing Alzheimer’s and advance research into the disease.

Today, Alzheimer’s Association leads the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.

But this is also a personal story for us. You might have worked with Kim Dassing on your home loan. Scroll down for a pic of Kim and her dad who battled Alzheimer’s.

It’s so rewarding to work for a company who thrives on paying it forward!”

Miracle Of The Hudson

June Borrowers, Miracle of the Hudson donation

Thank You June Borrowers!

Thank you to all of our borrowers who closed on their home loan in June! You’re amazing and spectacular! By working with us, your home loan helped support the charity, Miracle Of The Hudson, a service that provides nurse navigators to every rare disease baby born into our world.

Every month The Yi Team donates 1% to causes we care about, especially causes that help kids, health and those with home insecurities.

Miracle Of The Hudson

Miracle Of The Hudson came about when baby Hudson was born in December 2017 with a rare disease. Like his parents say, crash landings happen every day in the medical world. You just hope you have a Captain Sully on your team. Thankfully, Hudson’s parents had a nurse navigator who was just that. They recognized that other parents needed nurse navigators too.

Miracle Of The Hudson’s mission is to provide every rare disease baby born into this world with their own nurse navigator to improve their health outcomes and their family’s overall experience from birth to treatments.

“To know that we are giving back to the community, just by doing our job well, is amazing and very rewarding to me personally. I’m inspired every day to give it my all because I know I’m helping home buyers afford their dream home, as well as helping incredible causes like Miracle Of The Hudson. I’ve been friends with Hudson’s parents for a while now. When Hudson was born I remember the feeling of not knowing what to do. Miracle of the Hudson is a great program and I’m psyched to help support it.”

Our Mortgages Are On A Mission

Thanks again to our borrowers! Every home loan we close enables us to invest in charities who are working to create a positive change in the world.

Years ago when Chong Yi opened his branch, his goal was to help those in need in his community. Chong and his teammates developed Mortgage On A Mission so that they could not only help families achieve their dream of homeownership, but take some of those rewards and put it back into our global community.

Since then The Yi Team has been able to donate over $100,000 to American Cancer Society, DIPG, Heartly House, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Creciendo Juntos, Rainbow Place Shelter and now Miracle Of The Hudson!

Grilling At Home

Derek Harman Grilling At Home
John Walowac Grilling

We’re Grilling At Home

Summer is here and The Yi Team is warming up their grills! A good old fashioned cook out is the perfect way to enjoy time with family and our homes. Take a peek behind the scenes at how we grill out at home!

Our door is always open! Come on over!

Derek Harman Grilling

Derek Harman’s Outdoor Kitchen

Derek is the master of the outdoor kitchen. The built in Lynx Sedona grill is the star of the show and makes everything taste even better. Today, Derek is making marinated, grilled chicken with lime, chili and cilantro for dinner. Add a cold brew on the side and you are ready for summer! Wave to the neighbors Derek!

John Walowac Grilling

Charcoal All The Way

You might see John Walowac’s propane grill in the background, as well as his firepit. But for the real grilling at home experience, John says it’s charcoal all the way! Check out John’s technique of the coals on one side so he has different temperature zones on his grill.

That’s a lot of potatoes John!

Erin's Daughter Eating Pickle Hoagie

ERIN’S FAVORITE GRILL JOINT

As most moms know, it’s nice to take a break from cooking at home. So when Erin Finke wants a good grilled burger she heads to White’s Ferry on the Potomac River in Poolesville. Looks like she got all the fixings!

Her daughter Peyton prefers a pickle hoagie which looks delicious! This might be a great choice for the low carb fans out there.

Erin's son grilling out

Erin’s other little dude is a snacker and not quite up to grilled cheeseburgers yet, just little cheese doodles. Way to rock the red, white and blue, Cayson!

Lots of Red White and Blue

Kellie likes to pull out the bunting for cookouts on Memorial Day and Labor Day. That red, white, and blue really sets the mood for some summertime fun!

Favorite grill recipe? Always include lots of veggies and salads. Kellie is vegetarian and always throws mushrooms and eggplant on the grill. She rolls the grilled eggplant up with ricotta cheese, parmesan, oregano and tops it with tomato sauce. Yum!

Scroll down for the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich recipe. For my veggie friends, try a veggie chik’n patty or grilled portobello mushroom cap instead of the chicken.

Jamie Bizelli at the pool

Poolside with Jamie

Home means time with family and friends. Jamie Bizelli and her cuties love to celebrate the start of summer by grilling at home and a jump in the pool. She says that anything on the grill is great, it’s the time with family that means the most to her!

Kim Dassings Son

Kim Dassing’s Special Reason To Celebrate

Special shout out to the military for Memorial Day! This is Kim Dassing’s son who now lives in Oregon with his two dogs. Kim said it was a nailbiter when he went to Iraq but she couldn’t be more proud of him! Thank you for your service!

Beth Posada’s Special Reason To Celebrate

Beth Posada also has good reason to celebrate military holidays. Her son Chase Posada is serving in the Air Force. Although his international travels are exciting, Beth is happiest when he’s close to home. Thanks for your service Chase!

Grilled Chicken Caesar Sandwich Recipe

Try this recipe from Epicurious.com for your next cookout! Deeply charred mustardy chicken thighs are paired with a crunchy and refreshing fennel-basil slaw for the ultimate summer-night chicken sandwich. Makes 4 sandwiches.

At Home On Opening Day

We’re big sports fans here at The Yi Team so baseball’s opening day is something to celebrate! Not only is the game a ton of fun to watch or play, we pull some of that “team spirit” and use it here at The Yi Team Mortgage. It’s one of the best parts of The Yi Team and part of what makes working here (and working with us) so awesome!

Chong has his selfies down pat.

Opening day is never spent at home for Chong. He’s celebrates the first home game with his favorite team, the Orioles, every year! It’s always more fun to cheer on the home team with some friends. Bringing people together is one of Chong’s specialties.

Opening Day

Chong splurges on season tickets to support the Orioles and forgives anyone with Natitude. It’s all about the love of the game! Go O’s and Go Nats!

Coach John

Senior loan officer, John Walowac takes baseball to a whole other level. He’s the coach of his son’s baseball team, so opening day is celebrated on the diamond of his neighborhood school.

Opening Day with John Walowac

Opening Day On The Diamond

John has coaching in his blood, which comes in handy when he’s helping borrowers through the loan process.

Erin's daughter playing baseball

Keeping Her Eye On The Ball

Gorgeous skies over the neighborhood play area makes for awesome baseball. Erin Finke’s daughter Peyton puts a determined eye on the ball for her big swing! Go Peyton!

If you want to see Peyton hit one out of the park, click below to our Instagram feed.

Celebrating Opening Day with Alicia Newberry

Alicia Loves Her Home Team

Did you know that not all of our team is in the DMV area? Our team spirit reaches far and wide. Alicia Newberry is in Nashville, Tennessee and loves her baseball team. Go Kansas City Royals!

Will You Marry Me?

Jennifer Will You Marry Me?

Opening Day with the Orioles is especially memorable for Jen Hansel because this is where her husband popped the question! Don’t you love how Jen’s husband even pulled off the orange and black color scheme? It’s details like that that make all the difference.

The Yi Team at Orioles

Wishing your favorite team the best of luck this season!

At Home With The Yi Team Pets

One of the best things about owning a home is being able to have pets! We’re inviting you to take a peek behind the scenes to see what our mortgage pro’s home life looks like. These are the lovebugs we work from home with and love coming home to. Come on in and say hello to The Yi Team pets!

The Yi Team Mortgage Pets

Say hello to Jack

Jack is a little rescue dog that’s happiest sitting on the couch to get a better view out Chong’s front window. Jack loves his fenced yard, but he’s a lot like Chong and likes to hang out with friends. Taking daily neighborhood walks is also how he keeps his svelte figure.

We all love our furry friends at The Yi Team. They make owning a home even more special! Jack recommends that you check for great sidewalks or trails in your new neighborhood.

Ask Chong why he named his dog Jack!

Ask Chong

  • Montego and Cayson

Montego is named after Erin’s favorite place to vacation

You can find Erin in Jamaica whenever she has a break in her mortgage and mom schedule. Montego is a nice reminder of one of the most beautiful places on earth, Montego Bay. He holds down the fort and helps keep Erin’s two little ones entertained just like the nice, old gentleman that his grey hairs imply.

Montego loves his house because of it’s terrific open floorplan. He can play with the kids without having to worry about knocking something over. And there’s plenty of room for the oversized chair so he can read a good book with his people.

Calvin is on bedrest

Calvin is Jen’s rescue pup. Named after the Baltimore Oriole’s hall of famer, he’s a bit of an athlete himself. Somehow that didn’t stop him from breaking two legs at the same time! Thank goodness Jen has a great backyard to let Calvin get some fresh air while he’s recuperating.

A fenced back yard is a must, says Calvin. Being able to play off the leash helps him build his muscles back up.

Jon and George

George is one cool cat

Jon and Erin are the big cat lovers on The Yi Team. One of the best things about owning a home is coming home to this big guy.

Want to say hello to George yourself? Just hop on a zoom call with Jon. George somehow makes an appearance any time the camera is on. He’s a big fan of working from home with pets.

Zoom with George

Sammy

Say hello to Sammy! She’s a big fan of football games by the fire and snuggling into her favorite sherpa blanket. She has everyone fooled that she’s a couch potato, but Sammy really loves to investigate her neighborhood with Derek’s daughter Lila.

Sammy’s best tip is to remember to wear a classy collar with your contact information on there. Especially if you’ve just moved into the neighborhood.

Her second tip for homeowners is to make sure there is a nice spot in the entry for a pup to show off how happy she is that you’ve walked in the door. Her wiggle-butt moves can’t be beat!

The Pets of The Yi Team Mortgage

Riley thinks she’s a lapdog

Riley knows that remote learning and working from home can be hard, so she’s always there for a big hug.

Riley is Kellie’s golden doodle. She has tons of space to in the fenced yard, but if you ask Riley, she’d rather be sitting on someone’s lap. Riley is NOT a fan of the hardwood floors and is looking forward to the new rug that’s going on the stairway. Her fluffy feet are too slippery!

[Read more about Kellie Hodges]

Beth's dog Dani

Dani loves to make you laugh

Nothing makes Dani happier than getting a good laugh out of her people. She’s loves to try on a funny hat or toupee to put a smile on Beth’s face!

Dani recommends when you’re looking for the perfect home that you find something that has enough wall space to hang a mirror. She really likes to check her cute face before she heads out to play with friends.

[Read more about Beth Posada]

Bocephus loves naps

It’s not easy being this cute. Bobo needs to refresh with a little nap to stay on top of his game. He loves being part of the Walowac pack and keeps them all on their toes.

Bocephus thinks the best part of being a homeowner is having a warm place and a good shoe to lay down on. Turn on the sound for this video people. Bobo is really sawing some logs!

How To Pack A Moving Van

The Myers Team Courtesy Moving Truck
The Myers Team Moving Truck
The Myers Team RE/MAX Free Community Courtesy Moving Truck

The Myers Team Courtesy Truck is on the road! You’re probably psyched about your new home, but maybe feeling a little overwhelmed about the moving aspect. No problem! The Yi Team has a few tips to show you how to pack a moving van so your possessions arrive safely.

Clients, Schools, Charities and Neighbors can use this truck for Free!

If you’re a home buyer and work with The Myers Team at RE/MAX Realty Services, you get the benefit of being able to use their moving van to move to your new home. They offer free rental for local service whether you’re moving to Maryland, DC or Virginia. 

We find a lot of first time home buyers take full advantage of this perk, but it’s also great for homeowners who are moving that last pile of items, or taking a few pieces to their new vacation home. It takes the stress and expense out of renting from a moving company.

No special license is required to drive this van.

The 14’ foot cutaway cargo van is just the right size to move a 1-2 bedroom home of furnishings and possessions. And, even after you pack the moving van, these tips below make it easy to drive and a stress free move. You don’t even need a special license to drive this truck!

So, pull your packing list together! We have some truck packing tips to keep in mind for a safe and relaxed move.

Myers Team Courtesy Truck
Tips to Pack A 14′ Moving Truck

Moving Van Packing Tips

Do you know there is a correct way to load a moving van? According to Penske Truck Rental, they recommend packing the truck in an “I formation”. It is safer and easier to balance the weight of the heaviest items behind the cab, down the center and then at the end of the truck bed…like an uppercase letter I.

Start by packing your valuables in the driving cab of the truck along with any important papers or items you may need quickly during the move. That might include phone numbers and contracts for the new home, keys or an overnight bag. 

Next, put the heaviest objects behind the cab of the truck. That might be appliances or large pieces of furniture.

Down the center of the truck, place large heavy furniture, like desks and dining room tables.  Boxes of books or other heavy items can go under the table in the middle.

Place your mattress and box spring on one side of the truck, and sofas along the other side to balance out the weight.

Complete the “I” formation with heavy boxes along the back of the truck.

Lastly, place smaller items that are lighter or smaller in the truck. Clothing and bedding can be tucked around the larger items to make sure they are snug for the drive to your new home.

Thanks to Flynn Title, ACH Ambition, Bargain Movers and A to Z Inspection
Low loading deck for easy packing.

Truck Dimensions

These numbers are approximate.

  • Interior dimensions of approximately 91” wide x 141” deep
  • Up to 725 cu. ft. of loading space
  • Door opening is 77” high x 87” wide
  • Loading is less than 3’ off the ground

Shout out to all the companies that helped make a courtesy van available to home buyers: Flynn Title, Ambition Custom Homes, A to Z Inspection Services, and Bargain Movers.

Need a little extra help with moving? Start planning early. Eight weeks before moving day, print out a Stress Free Moving Checklist to help you get organized and make sure you don’t forget anything.

Best of luck with your move!

About Mortgage Points

Mortgage Points, Money.com

Jon Ingram was recently interviewed for Money.com about mortgage points. Find out what they are and the pros and cons of mortgage points.

Money.com

What are mortgage points? 

Most mortgage companies have a menu of interest rates available to offer clients for every type of loan.  In most cases, a company will offer a rate that is considered “market”, meaning they will not charge anything beyond their standard processing fees to lock in and obtain that rate.  However, there are also higher and lower rates on the menu as well.  A below market rate can be obtained for a fee, while an above market rate will come with a lender credit given to the client. 

How much do mortgage points cost?

The amount of the fee or credit will vary based on multiple factors including loan amount, daily bond market movement, and the details of your specific loan scenario.   Most mortgage companies are pulling interest rates from multiple investors, including themselves; the rates are offered in real time and subject to change until the lender locks in the terms.  As a rule, they are determined as a percentage of the loan amount, but what that percentage actually is at any given moment depends on the appetite of the investor offering the rate. 

Are there any limits to how many points you can buy?

Yes, rate sheets for a particular loan scenario will have a high and low interest rate.  Every interest rate within that range is generally on the menu.

What are the pros/cons of points? 

The average homeowner will have 5-7 mortgages in their lifetime.  The biggest con related to points is they may create a breakeven period that conflicts with the time horizon for that particular mortgage.

When should you buy mortgage points?

Whether points are appropriate depends 100% on the needs of the client.  A truly professional mortgage advisor will lead an in-depth conversation, asking the proper questions to elicit the goals of the client to offer the best interest rate available for their unique situation.
