It’s Friday, so let’s have some fun! I asked AI to help recreate me as a glamourous action figure, Rhonda – The Mortgage Porter.
Full disclosure, I asked ChatGPT to write a post to compliment the doll it created for me. Here it is!
Meet Barbie’s Mortgage Maven: Rhonda Porter, The Mortgage Porter! 💁🏼♀️💼🏡
Move over Malibu Barbie — there’s a new icon in town, and she’s bringing spreadsheets, sass, and serious smarts to the Dreamhouse.
Introducing… Rhonda: The Mortgage Porter Barbie! 💖
Dressed in a crisp blazer, stylish jeans, and ready-to-rock sandals, Rhonda isn’t just a pretty face (though, let’s be honest — she is stunning). She’s the ultimate powerhouse when it comes to home financing, debt restructuring, and credit empowerment.
This Barbie comes fully loaded with:
-
A sleek HP calculator (because numbers never lie)
-
A powerful laptop for crunching the best rates
-
Her trusty Samsung phone for constant client communication
-
A piping hot Starbucks cup (because mortgages run on caffeine)
-
A shiny silver Lexus SC430 for boss-lady vibes
-
And of course… her signature smile that says, “You’ve got this.”
But what makes Rhonda truly shine?
She’s not just selling mortgages — she’s changing lives.
💡 She helps first-time buyers get the keys to their very first homes.
💳 She guides families through debt restructuring, making space to breathe again.
📈 She empowers people to improve their credit so they can reach their financial goals faster.
💬 She explains everything with warmth, clarity, and care — turning confusion into confidence.
Whether you’re upgrading to a bigger space, refinancing for a better deal, or finally ready to turn your dream home into a reality — Rhonda’s your girl.
She’s not just a doll.
She’s a dream facilitator.
A financial fairy godmother.
The queen of closing costs.
So here’s to Rhonda — The Mortgage Porter Barbie — proof that brains, heart, and hustle never go out of style. 💕🏡✨

Mortgage interest rates have been VERY volatile with all the movement in the stock market. Typically, when the stock market is plummeting, we see mortgage rates improve. This is because mortgage rates are based on bonds and investors will seek the safety of bonds. In the markets we recently have been experiencing, the lower mortgage rates may be available for moments before moving higher.
25 years ago, I left my career in the title and escrow career to become a mortgage loan officer. I announced it on April fools day to the real estate agents that I was no longer going to be their title rep and that I was making the move to the mortgage side. Many were shocked as I had been in the title industry for 14 years and was pretty established. It was a big move! 
FHA issued an update to their guidelines (ML 2025-09) revising residency requirements for FHA mortgages. The new guidelines only allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents and removes non-permanent residents from being eligible.
I am taking a quick vacation to visit my son and family in Japan. I will be back to work as fresh as a cherry blossom on April 8, 2025. (Update: I’m back from vacation!)
As expected, the Fed has decided to leave the Fed funds rate unchanged, leaving the targeted range between 4.25% and 4.5%. This rate does not directly affect mortgage interest rates, but rather influences the direction of mortgage interest rates (unless you have a home equity line of credit that is based on the prime rate).
