* HELOC - Certain conditions apply. HELOC's are subject to state, credit, and loan to value parameters, plus other conditions. Please contact me for details on what states I am licensed in that offer HELOC.

*Closed-End SEconds - Certain conditions apply. CES are subject to state, credit, and loan to value parameters, plus other conditions. Please contact me for details on what states I am licensed in that offer CES.

Loans (Conventional/FHA/VA/HELOC) - Loans are based on credit, income, loan to value, liens and asset qualifying. These items are required to be verified.

I am able to work with clients who have a 520 FICO (meaning mortgage scoring on the three bureau credit scoring system) or above but the loans must pass automated underwriting and meet credit/income/valuation/asset conditions to close. If you have been turned down for less than a 580 credit score, I will see if you qualify.

Please note that I am not able to offer USDA loans. Texas clients, please note that certain conditions apply on Texas loans as part of the Texas 50(a)(6) legal requirements that must be met.
