Hello Columbus: Your Weekly Mortgage Playbook
Columbus mortgage blog with real numbers and zero fluff. A 3-minute weekly playbook by Tom Lade (NMLS #962607), CrossCountry Mortgage.
Buying or refinancing in Columbus shouldn’t feel like decoding a tax return at midnight.
What you’ll get here each Wednesday: a 3-minute market read, one tactic that actually moves dollars, and a simple action you can take today.
Who this is for: move-up buyers, investors, and homeowners who want leverage without regret.
Why listen to me: I’m Tom Lade (NMLS #962607), a CrossCountry Mortgage loan officer who thinks like an engineer—clear models, risk controls, and speed. I use tools like MBS Highway, lender-level pricing, and local data to explain the why, not just the what. No hype.
How to use this blog:
- Subscribe once.
- Skim on Wednesdays.

What I won’t do: bury fees, sugar-coat risk, or chase clickbait.
