Every Buyer Has a Path.
Let's Find Yours.

VA, FHA, 203K, USDA, DSCR, Conventional, One Time Close, Mobile Home & Land, Jumbo, Halal, and manual underwrites. If there's a path to homeownership — I know it.

Before You Choose a Program

Call Your Lender First.
Before You Call a Realtor.

The right loan program depends on your credit score, income type, down payment, property type, and location. Most buyers don't know which program fits until they talk to a lender. That conversation is free, soft pull only, and changes everything about how you approach the search.

Don't fall in love with a home before you know what you qualify for. Call me first.

Loan Programs

Every Program. One Lender.

🎖️
$0 Down · No PMI · Reusable
VA Home Loans

The most powerful home loan program available. Zero down, no PMI, competitive rates for life. Manual underwrites available when AUS says refer. My mom is a veteran — this one is personal.

🏠
500+ Credit · 3.5% Down
FHA Loans

580+ with 3.5% down. 500–579 with 10% down. Manual underwrites available. FHA is the most common first-time buyer program — and the most misunderstood.

🔨
Buy + Renovate · One Loan
FHA 203K Renovation

Finance up to $75K in repairs in one mortgage. I closed one myself — commission income, 51% DTI, 53 days from offer to keys. I know this product from the inside.

🌾
$0 Down · Rural & Suburban
USDA Loans

100% financing in eligible areas. Lower MI than FHA. More properties qualify than most buyers realize. The most underused zero-down program in lending.

🏢
No Tax Returns · LLC OK
DSCR Investment Loans

Qualify on rental income — not your personal income. No W-2. No tax returns. LLC closing available. Built for real estate investors who need to scale.

📋
3% Down · PMI Drops Off
Conventional Loans

HomeReady and Home One start at 3% down. Strong credit? Conventional beats FHA on total cost — especially since PMI eventually cancels and FHA MIP doesn't.

🏗️
Build · One Loan · Rate Locked
One Time Close

Construction to permanent in a single loan. Lock your rate before ground breaks. FHA, VA, and USDA options. No second closing, no re-qualifying when construction completes.

🏡
Home + Land · One Mortgage
Mobile Home & Land

Manufactured home and land financed together as real property. FHA Title II and conventional options. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas — where most lenders turn these buyers away.

💎
Above Conforming Limits
Jumbo Loans

Above $806,500 in most markets. Primary, second home, and investment options. California buyers — I'm licensed there and jumbo is standard in your market.

Specialty Programs

Beyond the Standard Programs

🕌
Sharia Compliant
Halal Financing

Interest-free home financing structured to comply with Islamic finance principles. My LO assistant Mariam Abdullah speaks Arabic. Your entire transaction can be handled in Arabic if needed.

✍️
AUS Refer — No Problem
Manual Underwrites

VA and FHA manual underwrites available. When the automated system returns a refer I do the work manually. I was an underwriter. I know what the file needs to look like.

Rebuilding Credit
Credit Restoration Path

Not ready today? My credit restoration specialist Natasha Stewart works with clients who need 30–90 days to get their score where it needs to be. We build the plan and close when you're ready.
