VA Loans are available to active-duty service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses. To qualify, you’ll need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA, meet credit and income requirements, and plan to use the home as your primary residence.
A Jumbo Loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If you’re purchasing a high-value home that requires financing beyond conventional limits, a Jumbo Loan provides the funding you need with flexible terms.
Yes! Bank Statement Loans and Non-QM Loans are great options for self-employed borrowers. Instead of W-2s, these loans use bank statements or alternative income verification to qualify, making homeownership accessible for entrepreneurs and freelancers.

A Reverse Mortgage allows homeowners aged 62+ to convert home equity into cash, with no monthly mortgage payments required. The loan is repaid when the homeowner sells the home, moves out, or passes away, making it a valuable retirement tool.
Yes! While credit scores impact refinancing options, FHA Streamline Refinance or Non-QM Loans may allow you to refinance with lower requirements. Improving your credit before refinancing can also help secure better rates.
