Social & Video Playbook · Kunal Khanna

How I use this each week I use this as my homeowner education routine — two filming sessions give me useful topics for my follow-up conversationsand help me prepare for homeowner questions.

My three starting habits

I prepare once, then follow a steady routine.

I choose the questions ahead of filming so I can spend more time explaining and less time deciding what to say.

I review my two bio drafts below before updating my profiles. I keep my application link easy to find.

I reserve two 20-minute filming sessions each week and bring a short list of homeowner questions.

I aim to answer comments and messages within a day. I move document requests to a secure channel and keep personal loan details out of public replies.

Your two profile bios

My wording to adapt to each platform’s space limits.

Compliance: every public profile carries your name, "Loan Officer, CMS Mortgage Solutions," NMLS# 253695, and Equal Housing Lender. I avoid loan-term promises in profiles. Every refinance post includes: Refinancing may increase total finance charges over the life of the loan.

What each channel is for

I adapt the same homeowner question to each channel.

My short explanations

Instagram 3–4× / week

I use Reels to explain one refinance decision at a time. In Stories, I ask what homeowners want clarified next. I keep account details and personal documents out of the conversation.

My plain-language lessons

TikTok 3–4× / week

I explain one idea, such as equity or closing costs, in a short clip. I reuse a video only after checking that its wording and disclosures still fit.

My local conversations

Facebook 3–4× / week

I share homeowner education for Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax. Where group rules allow it, I answer general refinance questions without asking for private financial details.

My searchable answers

YouTube Shorts 1–2× / week

I use clear titles like “Should I refinance my Northern Virginia home?” or “Self-employed refinance documents.” I revisit older clips when their guidance needs an update.

The 2-film-burst week

I use two short sessions to prepare the week.

Session 1 — Decisions and readiness Pick a day · ~20 min

I record 3 videos with one homeowner question in each.
I cover waiting versus refinancing, a document question, and a Northern Virginia property detail.
I check the wording and disclosures before scheduling.

Session 2 — Equity and questions Pick a 2nd day · ~20 min

I record 2 videos: one about cash-out risk and one invitation to ask a refinance question.
I speak in short sentences and explain any loan term I use.
I have five drafts to review, not a reason to rush publication.

My posting rhythm: Monday / Wednesday / Friday, with the other drafts available when useful. I also make time to answer comments and messages. I never ask someone to post private loan documents.

The 28-hook bank

I use these as openers, not complete posts. I add a script, on-screen text, caption, compliance microtag, and single-token hashtags before publishing. Refinancing may increase total finance charges over the life of the loan.

Pillar 01 Should you refinance?

“I ask one thing before we discuss a refinance: what needs to change?”

“I can help you compare keeping your loan with replacing it.”

“Planning to move soon? I would look at closing costs first.”

“A smaller monthly payment can still mean more paid over time. I check both.”

“I compare a shorter loan term with the room you need in your budget.”

“I count the years you have already paid before looking at a new term.”

“Sometimes my refinance recommendation is to wait. Here is what I look at.”

Pillar 02 Cash-out and home equity

“I start a cash-out conversation with this: your home secures the larger loan.”

“I explain equity as home value minus what you owe, not cash in an account.”

“Before borrowing for a renovation, I ask how you plan to repay it.”

“I separate a cash-out refinance from a second loan against your home.”

“Using home equity to pay other debt changes the risk. I explain how.”

“I look at the mortgage payoff and closing costs before discussing cash left over.”

“I would rather discuss the risk of missed payments before you borrow against your home.”

Pillar 03 Refinance readiness

“Self-employed? I begin with how your business income is documented.”

“I use your current mortgage statement to start the refinance review.”

“I explain why the lender may need an appraisal, even though you already own the home.”

“I suggest checking your credit reports for errors before starting the review.”

“I ask about recent income changes before building your document list.”

“I walk through the steps that affect timing before discussing a closing date.”

“I explain the costs to close and what changes if they go into the loan.”Lender review applies

Pillar 04 Northern Virginia homeowners

“Own a condo in Arlington? I ask about association documents early.”

“For an Alexandria homeowner, I start with plans to stay, not a market headline.”

“Have a Fairfax townhome? I check what property and association review may apply.”

“I do not use a neighbor’s sale price as a promise of your home’s value.”

“Working for yourself in Northern Virginia? I help map out your income paperwork.”

“I ask Northern Virginia homeowners whether a future move changes the refinance math.”

“Already own in Arlington, Alexandria, or Fairfax? I can help you frame the refinance question.”

Filming basics

I keep the setup simple so the explanation is easy to follow.

Light: I face a window and check that my face is clearly visible.

Frame: I set my phone vertically on a stable surface and leave space for captions.

Audio: I record a short sound check in a quiet room before filming the full clip.

Length: I start with the question, explain one point, and leave enough time to read the disclosure.

Captions: I add accurate on-screen text and keep the refinance disclosure readable. Refinancing may increase total finance charges over the life of the loan.

One-take energy: I use my own voice. If I miss a key cost or risk, I record the explanation again.

End with the step: I close with “Message me REFI with your question.” I keep requests for financial documents in a secure process.
