🏡 Mortgage Programs & Loan Types

VA Home Loans – More Than Just No Down Payment

The VA loan program is one of the most powerful home financing options available to eligible veterans and service members. VA loans offer:

✅ No down payment required
✅ No private mortgage insurance (PMI)
✅ Flexible credit guidelines & manual underwriting available
✅ Competitive interest rates
✅ Limited closing costs

As a VA loan specialist, I help military families maximize their benefits—even if they’ve been turned down elsewhere. If you’ve been told “no” before, let’s talk and explore your options.

FHA Loans – A Flexible Option for First-Time Buyers

FHA loans are ideal for buyers with limited credit history or lower credit scores. They offer:

✅ Down payments as low as 3.5%
✅ More lenient credit & debt-to-income (DTI) requirements
✅ Government-backed security for lenders

Not all lenders approve FHA loans the same way—some have overlays that make qualification harder. If you’ve been turned down for an FHA loan, I may be able to help.

Conventional Loans – Competitive Rates & Flexibility

For borrowers with strong credit and financial stability, conventional loans provide:

✅ Lower long-term borrowing costs
✅ No upfront mortgage insurance with 20% down
✅ Higher loan limits for expensive markets

Both Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac offer special programs for first-time buyers, self-employed individuals, and low-income borrowers. If you’re considering a conventional loan, I can help you compare your options.

Jumbo Loans – Financing for High-Value Properties

For properties that exceed the conforming loan limits, jumbo loans are available. In 2025, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) increased the conforming loan limit for one-unit properties to $806,500, with higher limits in certain high-cost areas.

Jumbo loans offer:

✅ Financing for luxury and high-value properties
✅ Flexible loan terms and structures
✅ Competitive interest rates

Given the stricter qualification requirements for jumbo loans, including higher credit scores and larger down payments, it’s essential to work with a knowledgeable lender to navigate the process.

💡 Alternative Loan Options: Non-QM & HELOCs

Non-QM Loans – Flexible Mortgage Solutions

Traditional loan programs don’t work for everyone—especially self-employed borrowers, retirees, and real estate investors. Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loans provide flexible solutions such as:

✅ Bank Statement Loans – Qualify based on cash flow, not tax returns.
✅ Investor DSCR Loans – No personal income required; loan is based on rental income.
✅ Recent Credit Event Loans – Options available after bankruptcy or foreclosure.
✅ Foreign National & ITIN Loans – Financing solutions for non-U.S. citizens.
✅ Asset Depletion Loans – Qualify using liquid assets instead of traditional income.

💰 Our Asset Depletion Loan Program
If you have significant assets but limited income, our Asset Depletion program allows you to qualify for a mortgage by calculating income based on your liquid assets. This is an excellent solution for:

✔️ Retirees living off investments
✔️ High-net-worth individuals with substantial savings
✔️ Entrepreneurs who minimize taxable income

If traditional lenders have told you “no,” there may still be a path forward.

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) – Access Your Home’s Equity

A HELOC is a flexible financing option that allows homeowners to borrow against their home’s equity, similar to a credit card. Perfect for:

✅ Debt consolidation – Pay off high-interest credit cards or personal loans.
✅ Home renovations – Upgrade your home without refinancing your first mortgage.
✅ Emergency funds – Have cash available when you need it.

📉 Improving Your Credit & Mortgage Readiness

Your Credit Score Matters—But It’s Not Everything

Many borrowers believe low credit scores automatically disqualify them, but programs like VA loans and manual underwriting offer flexibility.

I can help you:
✔️ Review your credit report for errors
✔️ Understand how to boost your score quickly
✔️ Explore alternative financing options if you’ve been denied

Even if your credit isn’t perfect today, there’s a path forward. I’ve helped buyers with scores as low as 489 close on their dream homes.
