I offer a wide variety of financing solutions including FHA, VA, Conventional, Jumbo, DSCR, Non-QM, and refinancing programs tailored to primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.

On average, closing a mortgage takes between 21 to 30 days from contract acceptance, depending on the loan program and how quickly documentation is provided.
Yes! Through Non-QM and DSCR loan programs, self-employed individuals can qualify using bank statements, and real estate investors can qualify based on rental property cash flow without showing personal tax returns.
