Why My Mortgage Under Management™ System Means You'll Never Overpay Again
Erik Gascho • July 29, 2025
Your Mortgage Shouldn’t Be “Set It and Forget It”
Most people think of their mortgage as a one-time decision—get the loan, make your payments, and forget about it. But in today’s rapidly changing market, that approach can cost you thousands over time.
That’s why I take a different approach.
As a Mortgage Advisor based in Clarkston, Michigan, I offer all of my clients a proactive strategy called Mortgage Under Management™—a system designed to make sure you never overpay on your mortgage.
What Is Mortgage Under Management?
Just like a financial advisor manages your investments, I manage your mortgage. My Mortgage Under Management™ (MUM) system is a full-lifecycle strategy that monitors:
Interest rate trends
Loan program changes
Your home equity growth
Your financial goals
Potential refinance opportunities
Think of it as a personal mortgage watchtower—constantly scanning the horizon for ways to save you money or create financial flexibility.
How I Make Sure You Never Overpay
Here’s exactly how the system works:
1. Initial Planning That Aligns With Your Goals
Whether you're buying in Clarkston, Lake Orion, Rochester, or anywhere in Metro Detroit, we start by understanding your bigger picture:
Are you planning to move in 5 years?
Is college planning a factor?
Do you expect your income or family situation to change?
We build your mortgage around life planning, not just interest rates.
2. Ongoing Rate Monitoring
Once you're in your mortgage, I don’t walk away. I track the market daily for rate movements that might create a refinancing opportunity.
If a better rate becomes available that aligns with your financial goals, I’ll let you know—without you needing to ask.
💡 Example: One Clarkston client refinanced 18 months after closing, saving $294/month because our monitoring system caught a drop during a short-term rate dip.
3. Monthly Equity Reviews
As home values continue to shift in Oakland County, it’s important to keep tabs on your equity. We send out quarterly equity updates that show:
Your estimated home value
Remaining loan balance
Opportunities for debt consolidation or cash-out
4. Refi Triggers + Alerts
Using technology (and some smart math), I set a personalized Rate Watch system for every client. If your loan hits a savings threshold (for example, $150+ per month net savings), we trigger a custom review.
This means you're not reacting to market hype—you’re responding to real, personalized savings opportunities.
Why This Matters More Than Ever in 2025
As of this summer, Michigan mortgage rates are hovering around 6.75–7.25% depending on credit, down payment, and program. But volatility is high, and the window for optimal refinancing can be short.
Timing the market on your own is risky and stressful.
But with Mortgage Under Management™, you don’t have to guess. I watch the market so you don’t have to—and I’ll guide you when it’s time to act.
Who This Helps Most
✅ First-time buyers in Clarkston who want long-term guidance
✅ Homeowners who bought in 2022–2024 when rates were elevated
✅ Families looking to consolidate debt or free up monthly cash flow
✅ Professionals planning for financial growth or early retirement
