Find the Right Loan for Your Situation
Every borrower's financial picture is different. Explore the programs below to see which may be the right fit — or schedule a consultation and we'll find the best options together.
Conventional Loans
Ideal for borrowers with strong credit and stable income. Flexible terms with competitive rates for primary residences, second homes, or investment properties.
FHA Loans
Government-backed financing designed for first-time homebuyers or those with lower credit scores. Lower down payment requirements make this an accessible path to ownership.
VA Loans
Exclusive benefits for eligible active-duty service members, veterans, and surviving spouses — including no down payment options and no private mortgage insurance.
Refinance
Thinking about lowering your monthly payment or adjusting your loan term? A refinance can help you restructure your existing mortgage to better match your current goals.
Cash-Out Refinance
Access the equity you've built in your home to fund home improvements, consolidate debt, or cover major expenses — while potentially adjusting your rate and term.
DSCR / Investment Loans
Qualify based on a property's rental income rather than personal income — a powerful tool for real estate investors looking to grow their portfolio without traditional income documentation.
ITIN Loans
Designed for borrowers who file taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) rather than a Social Security number. Homeownership is possible regardless of citizenship status.
Bank Statement Loans
For self-employed borrowers and entrepreneurs who may not show traditional income on tax returns. Qualify using 12–24 months of business or personal bank statements.
Non-QM Options
Non-traditional financing for borrowers who don't fit conventional guidelines. From asset-based loans to interest-only options, there may be a solution that works for your unique situation.

Common Mortgage Questions, Answered
New to the mortgage process? You're not alone. Here are answers to the questions I hear most often — explained plainly, without the industry jargon.
What credit score do I need to buy a home?
It depends on the loan type. FHA loans may allow scores as low as 580, while conventional loans typically require 620 or higher. Non-QM options may be available for lower scores. A consultation helps identify which programs you may qualify for.
How much do I need for a down payment?
Down payment requirements vary by program. VA loans may offer 0% down for eligible veterans. FHA loans typically require 3.5%. Conventional loans can start at 3–5% down. We'll review what makes sense for your situation.
Can I qualify if I'm self-employed?
Yes. Bank Statement Loans and Non-QM programs are specifically designed for self-employed borrowers. Instead of tax returns, lenders may use 12–24 months of bank statements to evaluate your income and repayment ability.
What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
Pre-qualification is an informal estimate based on self-reported information. Pre-approval involves a full credit review and document verification, making it a much stronger signal to sellers that you're a serious, qualified buyer.
Can I get a mortgage with an ITIN number?
Yes. ITIN loans are available for borrowers who do not have a Social Security number but file taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. Documentation requirements will vary, and I can guide you through the process step by step.
How long does the mortgage process take?
Timelines vary based on loan type, lender, and borrower readiness. Typically, the process from application to closing takes 21–45 days. Being prepared with your documents upfront is one of the best ways to keep things moving smoothly.
