Mortgage questions people google at 2am πŸŒ™
(Swipe β€” I'm answering all of them)

"What credit score do I need?"
β†’ FHA: 580+ for minimum down payment. Below 580 may require
10% down. Conventional: no set minimum but strong credit
history is heavily scrutinized. VA: 620+ typically. Jumbo: 700+.

"How much do I really need for a down payment?"
β†’ As little as 3% (Conventional) or 3.5% (FHA).
VA: $0 down. 20% eliminates PMI β€” but it's not required to buy.

"Will getting pre-approved hurt my credit?"
β†’ Yes, a few points β€” temporarily. Multiple mortgage inquiries
in 14–45 days count as ONE inquiry. Minor impact, worth it.

Stop googling. Start texting.

I answer mortgage questions at 2am.

An appraisal can make or break your deal and most buyers don't understand what it is until it's happening. 🏑 (Swipe!)

An appraisal is a professional opinion of the home's market value by a licensed, independent appraiser.

Your lender requires it because they won't loan more than a home is worth.

βœ… Home appraises at or above price β†’ you're good to go.
⚠️ Home appraises BELOW price β†’ you have options:

πŸ’¬ Negotiate with the seller to lower the price
πŸ’° Pay the difference yourself (appraisal gap)
πŸ“‹ Request a second appraisal
πŸšͺ Walk away using your appraisal contingency

WHAT TO EXPECT:
πŸ’΅ Cost: $500–$800, paid by the buyer
⏱️ Timeline: ordered after accepted offer, done in 1–2 weeks
🚫 You cannot choose your appraiser β€” lender orders independently

Pro tip: make sure the listing agent is present to give the appraiser comparable sales data.

Self-employed and been told you can't qualify for a mortgage?
That's not the full story. πŸ‘‡ (Swipe!)

The Bank Statement Loan was built specifically for you.

Instead of qualifying on your tax returns β€” which often show
a lower income than what you actually earn β€” this loan
qualifies you on your real cash flow.

Here's how it works:
The lender looks at 12 or 24 months of your bank statements,
totals your deposits, and uses that as your qualifying income.
No W2s. No tax returns. No Schedule C.

WHO THIS IS FOR:
πŸ’Ό Business owners whose revenue is strong but tax
returns don't show it
🧾 Freelancers and 1099 workers with variable income
πŸ—οΈ Contractors and gig workers with no employer
πŸ“Š Anyone whose tax strategy lowers their net income

PROGRAM DETAILS:
βœ… 12 or 24 months of bank statements
βœ… Minimum FICO: 660+
βœ… Down payment: 10–20% typically
βœ… Loan amounts up to $3M+
βœ… Primary, second home, and investment properties

Your business is thriving.
Your mortgage should too.

DM me "BANK" and let's qualify you on your real income πŸ’™

Things that are somehow easier than getting a mortgage (that probably shouldn't be) πŸ˜‚

πŸ“± Buying a car online at midnight
πŸ›’ Financing a $3,000 couch at 0% APR
✈️ Getting approved for another credit card
🐢 Adopting a dog (they just ask if you have a yard)

Getting a mortgage is hard. The paperwork is real. The timelines are real. The stress is real.

Having someone in your corner who knows the process inside and out? That makes it easier.

That's what I'm here for.

5 things to do β€” and NOT do β€” in the 30 days before you close. βœ… (Save this if you're under contract!)

🚫 1. DO NOT make any large purchases.
No new cars, furniture, or big charges. Changes your DTI and can kill final approval.

🚫 2. DO NOT open or close any credit accounts.
New inquiries + closed accounts = lower score right before the lender's final pull.

βœ… 3. DO keep your job and income stable.
Lenders verify employment right before closing. Changing jobs can delay or cancel your loan.

βœ… 4. DO keep funds in the same accounts.
Moving money raises red flags for underwriters. Keep everything in place until after signing.

πŸ“‹ 5. DO read your Closing Disclosure carefully.
You'll get it 3 business days before closing. Read every line. Call me if anything looks off.

Questions before your closing? Text me β€” anytime.

DM me "CLOSING" and let's make sure yours goes smoothly πŸ’™

Questions you should ask your mortgage broker before you commit. 🏑
(Save this β€” and then ask me every single one)

πŸ”‘ 1. What loan programs do I actually qualify for?
Not just "you'll probably do conventional." Show me the options
and why one is better for my situation than the others.

πŸ“‹ 2. What will my total monthly payment be?
Not just principal and interest. Include taxes, insurance, and
PMI if applicable. I need the real number.

πŸ’³ 3. How will my credit score affect my rate?
If improving my score by 20 points saves me $100/month β€” I
want to know that before I apply.

⏱️ 4. How long does your pre-approval take?
In a fast market, days matter. Know what you're working with.

πŸ’™ 5. Will you be available when I have questions β€” after hours?
Because buying a home doesn't happen between 9 and 5. And
neither does the anxiety that comes with it.

Ask me all of these. I'll answer every one.

DM me "HOME" and let's start the conversation πŸ’™

October keys start with a September call. πŸ”‘

Pre-approval: 24–48 hours.
Offer to acceptance: days to a few weeks.
Accepted to closing: 30–45 days.

The math says: if you want keys in October, the call is this week.

Not next week.
This week.
