Borrowers with stable W2 income, a 620+ credit score, manageable debt, and documented assets are typically strong candidates for conventional financing with competitive rates and flexible terms.

No! The need for a 20% down payment 'requirement' is a very common misconception. Many qualified buyers purchase with 3% to 5% down on conventional loans or 3.5% down on FHA loans, depending on credit profile and overall financial strength. Certain qualified buyers can put NO money down utilizing down payment assistance programs from certain City, County, and State funds. (Each down payment assistance program is specific and unique to the region in which the property is located, as well as strict income and/or geographical limits and restrictions).

FHA loans are often a good fit for first time buyers or borrowers with moderate credit profiles who want lower down payment options and more flexible qualification guidelines.

Lenders typically average the last two years of net income shown on federal tax returns. Consistent earnings, organized financials, and stable business history strengthen approval; however, there are Non-QM and self employed specific loan program that DO NOT require the use of federal tax returns. Instead, they rely on the monthly business deposits into your bank account, sole use of 1099 income, CPA prepared profit and loss statement, asset utilization, assets as qualification, and more creative financing solutions.

Yes. Self employed and 1099 borrowers can qualify with proper documentation, steady income history, strong credit, and NO tax returns needed. Clean records help ensure smoother underwriting.

Strong investor files usually include solid credit, adequate reserves, rental income support, and appropriate down payment, typically 15% to 25% depending on loan structure.

Refinancing may make sense when you can lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, shorten your loan term, or improve overall financial positioning by taking cash out to consolidate debt, make large purchases, or reinvest equity into home improvement projects.

Regardless if you're looking to purchase a new home or improve your current financial situation with a refinance, the first step is obtaining a pre-approval. This involves reviewing your income and employment history, assets, credit, and all other monthly debt obligations to determine eligibility and provide a clear purchase or refinance strategy.
