Loan Options
Finding the right home loan requires careful evaluation of your unique financial situation and goals. Lisa is a mortgage expert and provides personalized guidance, leveraging in-depth knowledge to recommend tailored loan solutions that align with your needs.
Conventional Loan
Conventional mortgages are among the most popular types of loans: They don’t have specialized eligibility requirements and come with low minimum down payments.
FHA Loan
Insured by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans allow borrowers to buy a home with a minimum credit score of 580 and as little as 3.5 percent down, or a credit score as low as 500 with at least 10 percent down.
VA Loan
Qualified U.S. military members (active duty, veterans and eligible family members) can apply for loans backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
USDA Loan
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guarantees loans for some rural homes for up to 100 percent financing. This doesn’t mean you have to buy a farm or shack up with livestock, but you do have to buy a home in a USDA-eligible area
DSCR Loan
A DSCR loan is a measure of the cash flow a borrower has to pay against current debt obligations for an investment property. A DSCR loan is a type of non-QM loan used by real estate investors to help them qualify for a loan based on their property’s cash flow, without having to verify personal income.
Commercial Loan
A commercial loan is a financial instrument that a business owner can avail to address any short-term capital needs. The sanctioned amount can be used to increase working capital, acquire new machinery, build infrastructure, meet operational costs, and other such expenditures.
