Frequently Asked Questions

What types of home loans do you offer?

We offer a wide range of loan products including Conventional, FHA, VA, Jumbo, DSCR investor loans, and Bank Statement loans for self-employed borrowers. We’ll help you choose the option that best fits your situation.

What’s the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is an initial estimate based on your self-reported financials, while pre-approval is a lender-verified commitment that strengthens your offer when shopping for a home.

Can I still get a mortgage if I’ve been denied by another lender?

Yes! We specialize in solutions for borrowers who may have been denied due to high debt-to-income ratios, unique income, or other challenges. Let’s review your situation — we often succeed where others fall short.

How do DSCR investor loans work?

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans allow real estate investors to qualify based on rental property income, not personal income. They’re ideal for portfolio growth without tax return documentation.

What are bank statement loans and who are they for?

Bank statement loans are designed for self-employed borrowers. Instead of W-2s or tax returns, we use 12–24 months of bank deposits to verify your income.

What credit score do I need to qualify for a mortgage?

Minimum credit score requirements vary by loan type. FHA loans can go as low as 580, while Conventional loans generally require 620+. We’ll assess your full financial picture to guide you.

How long does it take to close a loan?

On average, 21–30 days from application to closing. With proper documentation and responsive communication, we often close even faster.

Do you offer refinancing?

Yes! Whether you’re looking to lower your rate, shorten your term, or take cash out, we offer refinancing options across all loan types — including Conventional, Jumbo, FHA, and VA.
