NMLS #6606. Greg Hinkle CDLP, Loan Officer NMLS #674088. Equal Housing Opportunity.

With a mission to help families create and retain generational wealth through the financing of real estate, I bring over 25 years of experience to the table. My journey in the mortgage industry began in 1997, and I am proud to be licensed in Montana, Oregon, and Washington. My connection to the industry runs deep, as my father's family migrated from Eastern Montana during the Great Depression, eventually settling in Oregon where they worked in the timber industry. This background instilled in me a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for the value of property and land. In addition to my role as a Mortgage Professional, I am also a Real Estate Continuing Education (CE) instructor. This role allows me to share my knowledge and experience with others in the industry, helping them stay informed and up-to-date in this ever-evolving field. One of my most rewarding roles is serving as a Certified Divorce Lending Specialist (CDLP). In this capacity, I act as a financial neutral, assisting divorcing clients during negotiation and mediation. My goal is to help them navigate the complexities of real estate financing, ensuring they can retain family wealth and both spouses can be financially successful post-divorce. One of the highlights of my career is the joy of calling a first-time home buyer to tell them their loan has funded and they are now proud homeowners. It's a moment that never fails to bring me immense satisfaction and reminds me why I do what I do. Outside of the office, you'll often find me engaged in church activities, exploring the great outdoors through hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, or horseback riding. I have a deep love for rodeos and baseball, and nothing brings me greater joy than spending time with my wife, children, and grandchildren.

CDLP® is not simply a designation—it reflects a professional standard of care in divorce lending.

Housing decisions in divorce cannot rely on assumptions or best-case scenarios. Every provision involving real property must align with current lending guidelines before it becomes part of a settlement. Without that analysis, even carefully negotiated agreements may fail in underwriting and prove impossible to execute.

As a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®), my role is to bridge legal strategy and mortgage feasibility—providing clear, settlement-ready insight so outcomes are practical, executable, and sustainable.

For divorce professionals and homeowners alike, this article explains why early mortgage analysis is not optional—it’s essential.

Rent has a way of changing your budget over time. According to the information in this graphic, rent grew at an average annual rate of 5.6% from 2020–2026. That matters because renters have to plan for the possibility that their housing costs may continue changing. With a fixed-rate mortgage, however, your principal and interest payment is generally fixed for the life of the loan, although taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and other costs can change. 🏡 That’s one reason it can be helpful to compare your current rent with what homeownership could realistically look like for your budget. You don't have to figure it out alone. NAF can help you understand mortgage options, estimated payments, down payment requirements, and the steps toward becoming a homeowner. 💬 Curious what buying could look like compared with your current rent? Let’s run the numbers.

Approvable, sustainable, and affordable are three different questions — and a settlement that only answers the first one often produces a client back in court 18 months later.

This piece explains how one structured report evaluates all three before the decree, and how it's designed to be used by the attorney, the mediator, and the financial neutral on the same case.

If you've ever watched a housing term unravel post-decree, this will resonate: https://bit.ly/49cE665

The house is on the table in almost every divorce. Who keeps it, how the buyout is structured, and whether the loan can be refinanced. Attorneys, mediators, and financial neutrals each bring something essential to those decisions.

Is your divorce team complete?

As a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®), I practice Divorce Mortgage Planning as an integral member of the professional divorce team. My role is to help test whether the housing plan being negotiated is one the parties can actually carry out.

I’m not there to replace anyone at the table. I’m there to work alongside you, so the decisions about the house are built on a clear understanding of what is financially feasible.

If you work with divorcing clients, I’d welcome a conversation about how we can work together.

If your divorce involves the marital home, the decisions made today must be based on lending facts—not assumptions.
Many settlements outline terms that sound workable but cannot be completed under actual mortgage guidelines. This can prevent you from keeping the home, refinancing, or qualifying for a new property.

As a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®), I help you understand:
✔️ Whether you can qualify to keep or refinance the home
✔️ How support or employment income must be structured
✔️ How debt division affects your mortgage approval
✔️ Whether a buyout is realistically affordable
✔️ What timelines lenders require for refinancing
✔️ What title changes lenders will and won’t allow

Your settlement should support your long-term housing goals—not limit them.
If you’re unsure what’s financially possible or what housing options you should consider, I’m here to help you make informed decisions.

If you're thinking about divorce — or already in one — here's a question most people don't think to ask early enough:

*Can I actually afford to keep the house on my own?*

Not "do I want to keep it." Not "can we negotiate that I get it." But, when the dust settles and I'm the only name on the mortgage — will the math actually work?

There's no shame in not knowing the answer. Most people don't, because mortgage qualification after divorce involves things you've never had to think about:

How long you've been receiving support payments. How a buyout affects your equity position. What debts get reassigned to you. What your income looks like *on paper* to a lender after the marriage ends.

A Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) is specifically trained to walk you through all of it — in four phases, starting with a Discovery conversation that costs you nothing but might save you a lot of heartache later.

If you want clarity before you sign anything, reach out. It's what I'm here for.
