Every kind of borrower.
One phone call.

First home, fifth rental, or a 1099 income that confuses the bank — I've got a lender for it.

Home purchase

Find your rate before you fall in love with the house.

A pre-approval from me means your loan has been priced across 150+ lenders, not just one. You walk into every offer prepared, quick to move, and confident in your numbers.

  • Conventional: 3–20% down, no PMI at 20%
  • FHA: 3.5% down, flexible credit
  • VA: 0% down, no PMI
  • USDA: 0% down in eligible areas
  • HomeReady & Home Possible: 3% down
  • Jumbo: $800K–$5M+
  • One-time-close construction
  • Down payment assistance

The broker advantage

Banks compete against each other for customers. I make lenders compete for your loan — that competition is how you get more options and sharper pricing.

Rate & term refinance

Your current rate isn't the rate you have to keep.

Rates moved, your credit improved, or life changed — a refi can lower your payment, shorten your term, or both. I'll show you the full break-even picture before you decide anything.

  • Lower payment or shorter term
  • ARM to fixed for peace of mind
  • Remove PMI at 20% equity
  • FHA Streamline & VA IRRRL
  • No-closing-cost options
  • Side-by-side with cash-out

What I do differently

I calculate your full break-even in dollars — not just the new rate — so you know exactly when a refi pays for itself.

Cash-out refinance

Your equity is sitting there. Put it to work.

Central Ohio home values have climbed. A cash-out refi lets you tap that equity at mortgage rates — typically far lower than personal loans or credit cards.

  • Fund home improvements
  • Consolidate high-rate debt
  • Buy a rental or fund a business
  • Build an emergency fund
  • Up to 80% LTV on a primary
  • Up to 100% LTV with VA

How much could you access?

Max LTV (primary)80%
Max LTV (investment)75%
Rate typeFixed or ARM
Typical close30–45 days
Debt consolidation path

Rolling high-interest card balances into a mortgage can free up real monthly cash flow. I'll model it with your actual balances.

HELOC & home equity

Get the cash. Keep your rate.

A HELOC gives you a revolving line of credit backed by your home — draw what you need, pay interest only on what you use, and leave your existing first mortgage untouched.

  • Up to 85–90% combined LTV
  • Interest-only draw period
  • Pay only on what you use
  • Ideal for phased projects
  • Fixed home equity loans too
  • All three paths compared

My recommendation

Don't pick a product before running the numbers. I compare HELOC, home equity loan, and cash-out refi so you see the total cost of each path.

FHA loans

The path to homeownership with more flexibility.

Government-backed and built to help more buyers qualify — lower down payment, more flexible credit, and competitive rates shopped across my whole network.

  • 3.5% down with 580+ credit
  • 10% down with 500–579
  • Gift funds allowed
  • FHA Streamline refinance
  • 203(k): buy + renovate
  • Higher DTI allowed

Minimum credit500–580

Loan limitsSet by county
The broker edge

FHA pricing varies a lot from lender to lender. I compare them to find the strongest rate-plus-MIP combination for your profile.

USDA loans

Zero down. In more Ohio zip codes than you think.

USDA Rural Development loans offer 100% financing for eligible buyers in qualifying areas — including many suburbs and small towns around Columbus and parts of Delaware County.

  • 0% down payment
  • Below-market rates
  • Lower mortgage insurance than FHA
  • Income limits by county
  • Primary residence only
  • Many Delaware County addresses

Property locationUSDA-eligible area

Did you know?

Parts of Lewis Center, Sunbury, Marysville and other Delaware County areas can qualify. Send me the address and I'll check it.

Jumbo & super jumbo

High-value homes deserve high-touch service.

Jumbo loans get more underwriting scrutiny — exactly where having 150+ lenders in your corner matters most. I match the product to your assets, income type, and property.

  • $800K to $5M+
  • Primary, second home, investment
  • Fixed and ARM options
  • Bank statement jumbo
  • Asset depletion for retirees
  • Interest-only options

Typical credit700–720+

Jumbo advantage

Jumbo pricing isn't posted publicly like conforming rates. The spread between lenders can be significant — and I negotiate it.

Investor loans (DSCR)

Your rent qualifies. Not your tax return.

DSCR loans qualify investment properties on rent versus payment — no personal income verification. Built for investors who write off everything.

  • Qualify on rental income
  • Long- and short-term rentals
  • Purchase, refi, or cash-out
  • No tax returns or W-2s
  • Portfolio & blanket loans
  • Fix-and-flip bridge loans

The DSCR formula

DSCRMonthly rent ÷ PITIA
1.25 or higherBest pricing
1.0 or higherMost lenders approve
Below 1.0Select lenders
Investor network

Multiple DSCR lenders, including programs that use projected short-term rental income. Scale your portfolio faster.

Non-QM & self-employed

Unconventional income shouldn't mean no mortgage.

Business owners, freelancers, 1099 contractors, foreign nationals, ITIN holders — if you don't fit the W-2 box, I find the documentation path that does fit.

  • 12 or 24-month bank statements
  • 1099-only qualification
  • P&L statement programs
  • Asset depletion
  • Foreign national programs
  • ITIN loans

Documentation paths

Bank statements12 or 24 months
1099 income1–2 years

Asset depletionAssets ÷ months
My approach

I review your documents first, then match you to lenders whose programs fit — so you're never applying blind and hoping.

Home equity

Tame high-interest debt
with your home's equity.

If you've built equity in your home, a cash-out refinance or HELOC can roll high-interest credit cards and loans into one monthly payment, usually at a lower interest rate than credit cards.

  • One monthly payment instead of many
  • Keep your first mortgage with a HELOC, or refinance it all with a cash-out
  • Use cash for renovations, tuition or a rainy-day fund, too

Consolidating debt into a loan secured by your home may increase the total interest you pay over time, and your home is collateral for the loan. Rates, terms and eligibility are subject to underwriting approval.
