FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you want to know before you start. Still have questions? Call Travis directly.

How quickly can I get pre-approved?
Most pre-approvals are issued the same day you apply. We review your income, assets, and credit quickly and provide a pre-approval letter you can use to make an offer with confidence. In many cases, we can issue a pre-approval in as little as a few hours.
What credit score do I need to buy a home?
It depends on the loan type. Conventional loans typically require a 620+ score. FHA loans can work with scores as low as 580 with 3.5% down, or even 500 with a higher down payment. VA loans have no official minimum. Non-QM loans are also available for lower scores. We'll find the best program for your situation.
I'm self-employed. Can I still get a mortgage?
Absolutely. We specialize in Non-QM bank statement loans designed specifically for self-employed borrowers. Instead of tax returns (which often show lower income due to deductions), we use 12–24 months of personal or business bank statements to qualify you. No W-2s needed.
How long does the mortgage process take?
We typically close purchase loans in 21–30 days, and refinances in 14–21 days. By doing much of the prep work upfront — before we even submit to underwriting — we avoid the back-and-forth delays most lenders face. Some purchases have closed in as little as 14 days when needed.
What is a DSCR loan and who is it for?
DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It's a loan designed for real estate investors where you qualify based on the rental income the property generates — not your personal income. This means no W-2s, no tax returns, and no employment verification. It's ideal for investors building a rental portfolio.
Are there any hidden fees I should know about?
Never. Transparent pricing is one of our core values. You'll receive a full Loan Estimate upfront that itemizes every fee associated with your loan. We walk you through it line by line so there are zero surprises at the closing table. What we quote is what you pay.
