On this episode of 20/20 Money, my guest is Kim Hockaday. Kim is an experienced mortgage loan officer with Ruoff Mortgage. In the historically low interest rate environment that we're in these days, I wanted to bring Kim on the show to talk about mortgages and how optometrists should think about all aspects of home financing.

We talk about three things that are different as a buyer in this environment, how student loans play into the purchase decision, whether an underwriter prefers a borrower to have more cash on hand but a bigger loan balance or less cash on hand but lower loan balances, mistakes and wrongful assumptions practice owners make when applying for a mortgage, her thoughts on physician loan programs, and many more relevant topics.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, you can also set up a 20-30min Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we help ODs around the country use their practice as a wealth building vehicle, manage cash flow, align purpose with action, and make proactive money decisions.

And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Kim Hockaday.
