What's Your WHY?

Family is my Why!

My dad was my HERO ( that’s why I LOVE assisting VA buyers ) We lost Dad 4 years ago May 31st!

📣A little story: We used to drive to Portland a lot ( sports/friends) my Dad would always stop at a gas station in Woodland and get Fried Chicken Gizzards and fill up. I'd say why are you eating those, they look gross. He used to say, because when you grow up poor, you ate EVERYTHING! 📣

Why do I do what I do: Generational Wealth

Compounding Interest "The 8th Wonder of the World"

I don’t have any children, so my wealth witl go to my nephews and nieces. Helping them build generational wealth for them and their kids ( if they decide to have any )

Legacy: I’m also leaving some money to my Alma Maters and a few charities.

Stay tuned for invites to many events we have here at the Movement Mortgage Eastlake office. Let’s leave a Legacy together!

Getting pre approved can save you time and money!!

Most people start with a realtor because they think the home search comes first. They get excited about looking at houses, scrolling listings, and touring neighborhoods before understanding the financing side. What many buyers don’t realize is the first step should actually be speaking with a loan officer to determine budget, monthly payment comfort, down payment options, and loan eligibility.

A realtor can help you find the perfect home, but without a pre-approval there’s no clear picture of:

* Your buying power
* Estimated monthly payment
* Interest rate options
* Down payment assistance availability
* Credit or income conditions that may need attention

Getting pre-approved first helps buyers:
✔ Shop with confidence
✔ Avoid falling in love with homes outside their budget
✔ Strengthen their offer when they find the right property
✔ Move faster in competitive markets
✔ Understand the full financial picture before touring homes

Let’s normalize:
🏡 Pre-approval first
📝 House shopping second

Education! Education! Education!

There is a lesser-known segment of the lending market designed for high-earning business owners and investors who do not meet traditional underwriting criteria. These financing options can allow qualified borrowers to close on a property in a relatively short timeframe, sometimes within about 10 days, without relying on standard documentation such as tax returns or W-2 forms.

This type of lending is often referred to as non-qualified mortgage (Non-QM) financing. It is not necessarily obscure or high-risk, but it operates outside the guidelines that conventional lenders must follow. When a borrower does not fit within those guidelines, many banks are unable to proceed and typically do not offer alternative solutions.

Non-QM loans are structured to evaluate a borrower’s financial profile using different methods. Depending on the situation, qualification may be based on factors such as bank statement cash flow, rental income from investment properties, or existing assets rather than traditional income documentation.

Because there are multiple Non-QM loan types, identifying the right structure is important. Selecting an unsuitable option can lead to delays or unnecessary complications. Proper guidance can help borrowers align their financing approach with their specific financial profile and transaction goals.

In competitive real estate markets such as Washington, Oregon, and California, buyers using these loan structures may also incorporate strategies like rate buydowns to improve long-term affordability. These approaches are increasingly common among experienced investors and self-employed borrowers navigating nontraditional financing paths.
