our home loan process

01

pre-approval

Get a head start by securing your pre-approval. This step helps you understand how much you can borrow, giving you a clear picture of your budget and boosting your confidence when house hunting.

02

Find Your Home

Now that you know your budget, it’s time to find the perfect home! Your real estate agent and our team will work together to ensure your dream home is within reach.

03

Submit your application

Once you’ve found the home, the next step is submitting your official loan application. We’ll guide you through providing all the necessary documentation to make this process as smooth as possible.

04

Underwriting

During underwriting, we carefully review your financial information and the property details. This ensures everything meets the required guidelines. Our team will keep you updated throughout the process.

Loan Programs to Fit
all Homeownership Dreams

Mid-rise mixed-use brick and glass building with ground floor retail at golden hour

Whether you are acquiring a five-plus unit apartment building, refinancing a mixed-use property, or funding an owner-occupied building for your business, our team structures the request and places it with the lender most suited to the deal.

Commercial Lending

Foreign national programs let international buyers acquire U.S. real estate without a domestic credit file. Underwriting leans on assets, the property, and international documentation instead.

An ITIN loan opens the door to homeownership for borrowers who work, pay taxes, and build credit in the United States without a Social Security number. Your loan officer walks the documentation path with you step by step.

If your income arrives on a 1099, traditional underwriting can penalize you for the deductions you legitimately take. 1099 programs qualify you on gross contractor earnings, which often paints a fairer picture of what you make.

1099 Income Loans

Plenty of financially strong borrowers show little income on paper. Asset-based lending applies a formula to your liquid assets to establish qualifying income, so your net worth does the talking.

DSCR loans are built for real estate investors who want to scale without handing over tax returns for every acquisition. Underwriting centers on the property's rental income relative to its housing expense, keeping your personal finances out of the file.

Self-employed borrowers often write off enough expenses that their tax returns no longer reflect what they actually earn. Bank statement loans solve that by qualifying you on real deposits. Your loan officer will help you decide whether personal or business statements produce the stronger file.

I have to give the highest compliment and recommendation to my lender Doug. I recently purchased my new home. Doug had great knowledge, patience and professionalism through this process with me, and I wasn't the easiest person to deal with. Purchasing a home is very stressful and he was there every step of the way.
