Who We Serve

Mortgages for Every Kind of Borrower.

Every scenario is different—first home or fifth investment, W-2, self-employed or unemployed, full doc or alternative income, strong credit or past events. We match you to the right loan with clear, honest guidance.

Find My Loan Match

First-Time Homebuyers

Buying your first place in Florida? We walk you through every step and open doors most lenders won't — including our HomeZero™ program with zero down for qualifying buyers.

See First-Time Options →

Self-Employed & Owners

Your tax return doesn't tell the whole story. Qualify with 12–24 months of bank statements or 1099s — no W-2s, no awkward conversations about write-offs. Unemployed welcome.

See Self-Employed Loans →

Real Estate Investors

Scale without hitting a DTI wall. Our DSCR loans qualify the property, not you — so your personal income stays out of it and your next deal stays on track.

See Investor Loans →

Non-Traditional Borrowers

Foreign National. ITIN. Non-Permanent Resident. Recent credit event. Complex income. If another lender said no, there's a good chance we can say yes — and show you exactly how.

DSCR Loans for Investors

Scale Your Portfolio Without DTI Limits.

DSCR loans qualify on the property's rental income — not yours. No tax returns, no W-2s, no employment verification. If the property cash-flows, you qualify.

What type of investment property?

DSCR loans are for investment properties only. Qualification is based on property cash flow, satisfactory appraisal, and borrower creditworthiness. Rates and terms subject to change.

No Income Verification

Skip the W-2s, tax returns, and pay stubs. DSCR loans qualify entirely on the rental income the property generates.

Unlimited Properties

No cap on the number of financed properties. Scale from one unit to a full portfolio without hitting conventional loan limits.

Close in as Few as 14 Days

Streamlined underwriting with fewer conditions means faster closings — compete with cash offers on investment properties.

Loan Programs

38+ Years in Mortgages. Access to More Lenders. Better Loan Options.

Most lenders push you toward the loan that fits their box. We match you to the loan that fits your life — whether that's 100% financing, a no-income DSCR, a 10%-down $2,500,000 or 20%-down to $5,000,000 jumbo loan on a condo.

Conventional Loans

The gold standard for strong-credit buyers. As little as 3% down with competitive fixed and adjustable options.

View Details →

FHA Loans

The most forgiving path to homeownership. 0% to 3.5% down and flexible credit, insured by the federal government.

View Details →

VA Loans

Zero down, no PMI, and our lowest rates — a thank-you for your service. For eligible veterans and active military. Loans to $3,000,000.

View Details →

Jumbo Loans

For homes above conventional limits. As little as 10% down to $2,500,000 loans or 20% down to $5,000,000 on luxury properties across Florida.

View Details →

DSCR Loans

Qualify on the property's rental income, not yours. Keep your DTI clean and buy your next door faster.

View Details →

Doctor Loans

Built for MDs, DMDs, DOs, DPMs, DDSs, PharmDs, VMDs, CRNAs, and residents. Zero down to $2,000,000, flexible DTI, and student debt excluded in most cases.

View Details →

HomeZero Program

Zero down, 100% financing across Florida. Skip the down-payment hurdle entirely — qualified buyers can finance the full purchase price.

View Details →

Primary homes, second homes, and investment properties — maximum privacy, minimum paperwork. No employment required.

Book a Free 15-Min Call
Start with a free 10-minute call or our Greenlight+ pre-approval. We’ll review your income, credit, and goals, then tell you exactly which loan programs fit — and how much home you can afford.
No. Most of our clients put down far less. FHA loans need 3.5%, conventional loans start at 3%, VA loans require $0 down, and our HomeZero™ program can get qualifying first-time buyers into a home with zero down.
It depends on the loan. FHA loans can go as low as 580 (550 with 10% down). Conventional loans no longer have a minimum required score. VA loans are also flexible. We have programs for recent credit events too — call us before you assume you don’t qualify.
As few as 14 days from contract to keys with our Greenlight+ program. Most traditional files close in 15–30 days.
Yes — several. Florida Hometown Heroes (for teachers, nurses, first responders, and other essential workers), our exclusive HomeZero™ program, FHA, USDA, and conventional 3%-down options. We’ll tell you which ones you qualify for in one call.
Usually when you can lower your rate by 1.25% or more, shorten your term without raising your payment much, pull cash out for a renovation or investment, or drop PMI. We’ll run the break-even math for you — free — before you commit.
