Tim Maxwell

Tim Maxwell's expertise centers on mortgages, loans, and real estate. He's especially helpful on the big-ticket questions. He'll walk you through how much house you can afford and when to choose a home equity loan over a personal loan. You can also count on Tim for trickier calls, like FHA down payment requirements and whether a money market account or a CD is the better place for your savings.

His work has also been published on USA Today, Fox Business, and Bankrate, among others.
