A Conventional Loan is ideal for homebuyers with good credit and a stable income. This loan offers flexible terms and competitive rates, making it a great choice for those with a solid financial background who want to avoid mortgage insurance.
FHA Loans are designed to help first-time homebuyers or those with lower credit scores. Backed by the Federal Housing Administration, this loan offers more lenient qualification requirements, lower down payments, and more flexible terms.
VA Loans are a great benefit for veterans, active-duty military members, and their families. These loans offer zero down payment options, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and competitive interest rates to make homeownership more affordable for those who have served.
USDA Rural Development Loans are perfect for buyers looking to purchase a home in rural or suburban areas. With no down payment required and lower mortgage insurance costs, this loan helps make homeownership accessible for eligible rural residents.
Investor Loans are tailored for individuals looking to purchase residential properties, such as single-family homes or multi-unit rentals. These loans offer flexible terms and financing options, making it easier to grow your portfolio of investment properties and generate rental income.
Refinance Loans allow homeowners to lower their interest rate, reduce monthly payments, or access cash from their home’s equity. Whether you're looking to save on your mortgage or take advantage of better terms, refinancing can be a smart financial move.

We know that the mortgage process can raise a lot of questions. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the most common questions we hear from homebuyers, along with clear answers to help you feel confident as you move forward. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to refinance, we’re here to provide the information you need.
Mortgage requirements vary by loan type, but generally, a credit score of 580 or higher will qualify you for FHA loans. Other loan types, such as conventional loans, typically require a higher score of 620 or more.
The required down payment depends on the loan type. Conventional loans typically require 3-20%, while FHA loans start as low as 3.5%. VA and USDA loans may offer no down payment options.
Pre-qualification gives you an estimate of how much you might qualify for based on basic financial information, while pre-approval involves a deeper review of your finances and is a stronger commitment from the lender.
The mortgage process typically takes 14-30 days from application to closing, depending on factors like loan type, documentation, and the complexity of the transaction.
Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the loan amount and include fees for the loan, appraisal, title, and more. We’ll give you a detailed breakdown during the process.
