What are the chances for another housing collapse like 2008?

Hopefully we won't see the collapse of the housing market like we witnessed in 2008. But it is possible I've always been an huge advocate of creating good, quality type loans for homebuyers. With the market seemingly out of site out of mind for many f...

The Power of a Quarter of a Percent | Save Up To $50,000 or more

"Excellent service and attention to detail. A local property is going on the market I didn't want to miss. My bank caused numerous undisclosed delays to the point I had to find someone else. Through a referral, I found Doug Dahl, Black Ink Mortgage. Doug and his team had appraisal and refi on first home completed in less than 30 days from initial point of contact! A truly professional team and will be doing business with Black Ink Mortgage/Go To Home again. William H"

"Doug and his team did an amazing job for us. Our loan became a little complicated and challenging and he saw it through to final closing, keeping us informed and made us feel like a priority every step of the way. Highly recommend! Jonathan M"

"We can't say enough about how appreciative we are for Doug's help! We got into a contract to purchase a new construction home and were "pre-approved" thru the builder's loan officer. Well, they (plus 2 other lenders) ended up unable to approve us since we are both self-employed and had a complicated situation. A mutual friend introduced us to Doug and he worked tirelessly until he secured us a loan so we could purchase a beautiful home for our family. He even acted as our counselor for free when I was overwhelmed and reduced to tears. :) Doug, thank you so much for all of your help!! Mandy C"

"Doug and GoToHome have taken care of our real estate and loan needs for decades. I refer all my family and friends as they've never let me down. If you have a complex loan or complex situation, Dough and his team will work every issue to get you the best terms possible. Just last month, my father in law was promised unbelievable terms for a refi from a major bank. Doug said he couldn't match the terms and instructed my father in law to take the deal. As it turned out, the terms were in fact too good to be true, but Doug was able to close the deal quickly with better terms than major bank could match. Thank you Doug and GoToHome! Chuck B"

"I can't say enough about the good people at Go To Home. Doug Dahl and his assistant are the cream of the crop in home mortgages. He helped us three times over a six year period and always got us the best mortgage rates. I consider Doug to be not only the best in the business but also the most honest. Wish we could have used Go To Home when moving out of state. Sharon W"

"I've used GoToHome and Doug Dahl in probably a half a dozen refinances in the past 15 years. Doug is a man of impeccable integrity and relentless work ethic. Doug was on top of the process the whole way and made things "easy" for me the client. Did I mention the rates! I compared GoToHome with other lenders such as Wells Fargo, BofA, and Credit Unions.....Doug Dahl beat them all. Trust me.....if you want the best rates with personalized service that big banks won't provide, choose GoToHome. I'm glad I did time after time. Jeff B"
