America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender

My professional mission is to help clients make smart, savvy decisions about building wealth and financing real estate.

Secondly, there’s simply no substitute for skill & expertise on financial matters when navigating loan types, down payment and interest rate options from a sea of choices — so you’ll want me as your lender & advocate on purchases and when refinancing.

Thirdly, the economics of buying or refinancing have long-term implications combined with short-term impacts, so you’ll want me to deliver the insights that help you make well-informed decisions now and benefit from those choices later.

And finally, you want your lender to communicate clearly in real-time, present options and offer recommendations that fit your circumstances. That is exactly what you’ll get!

Whether we’re originating a Conventional, Jumbo, VA, FHA, USDA, Non-QM (bank statement, asset depletion, 1099, DSCR) loan or bond/non-bond down payment assistance program, you’ll be well-positioned for success.

  • To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.

  • A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.

  • A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.
