Divorced Christian Woman Buying, Selling, and Renting After Divorce: A Guide for Christian Women
In Season 3, Episode 8 of the Divorced Christian Woman Podcast, Natalie and Diana sit down with Diane Wallenta, a certified divorce lending specialist with 25 years in the mortgage industry. If you're confused about whether you can afford to buy, whether you're "too old" to get a mortgage, or whether you should just keep renting, this conversation is for you.
You'll learn the truth about age limits, what lenders actually look at when you're divorced, how to rebuild your credit after divorce, and why your gut instinct about your budget matters more than what you "qualify" for. Diane breaks down the numbers without the intimidation and gives you the roadmap for making the housing decision that's right for your unique situation.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Why an 89-year-old man just got a 30-year mortgage (and what that means for you)
- The hidden reason renting might be your smartest financial move right now
- What loan officers don't tell you about the "12-24 month rule" for divorced women
- The one mistake with child support payments that could tank your mortgage application
- Why the amount you "qualify" for could be a trap (and how realtors benefit from it)
