In today's market, it's better to speak with a broker personally so

 we can tailor a loan to fit your needs.   We will guide you through the entire process from application to close.  

 

          We  Specialize  in  Problem  Credit         


As a mortgage broker, we have access to the entire

wholesale lending market.  If one lender doesn't offer the lending

program that fits your needs, we can shop your loan with all

of our 15 other lenders to find the perfect loan for you.  

 

Please be advised that the mortgage industry has gone through

 a major restructure in 2007 and continues to change constantly in 2008.  We are members of the National, Texas and Greater Houston Area Association of Mortgage Brokers and receive daily updates on political issues and guidelines. We are experienced enough to know how to adapt to the ever changing market and we will do our very best to make sure you get to closing on your home with the best rates and terms available with the most reasonable closing costs. 

 

 

   OUR EXPERIENCE IN MORTGAGE LENDING IS PRICELE$$     

 

Buying a home can be stressful and intimidating 

That's why you are considering us to help you get closed! 

You have obviously heard that an experienced and reputable broker can help you every step of the way and have been referred to Meredith Brush or Beth Boren to take care of your financing from application to close. We can help you on a By Owner sale or gladly refer you to one of the many of the local experienced

realtors we work closely with each day. 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

The biggest misconception of first time home buyers is that THEY pay for a buyers agent to show them homes BUT it's the seller footing the bill to get their home sold. So call your favorite agent or ask me for a realtor referral during your pre-qualification and start looking today!

Trust your instincts and let's get started!! 

 

We start with a simple, over the phone, no commitment pre-qualification.  You will be able to speak us directly so we can better determine how much you qualify for.  It's a step by step process and before you know it,

we'll be calling you ready to set your closing! 

 


On weekends or after hours, call us! 

Try each number or email, we BOTH can help you or...

Leave a message if we're out shopping :)

We'll call you back all weekend long!

                           MORTGAGE TERMS                             

 

Stated Income - State your household income and verify employment or self-employment, no other documentation required. However there are 2 types of STATED loans, what we call SIVA (Stated Income Verified Assets) and SISA (Stated Income Stated Assets).  These type loans are available for good to excellent credit only.

 

Full Doc- Wage earners that can prove their income by providing paystubs, taxes and W-2's and bank statements

 

80/20 Combo loan - 80% 1st lien and 20% 2nd lien loans, closed with same lender at the same time, helps to lower overall 100% payment, waives escrow and PMI requirements

 

Escrows - Taxes and Insurance you pay to the lender each month who holds the funds in a non-interest bearing account so when your taxes and insurance become due each year, the lender takes the money you have accumulated and pays those out each year.  Don't simply RELY on the lender to handle your business, always double check and verify those items have been taken care of on time each year to protect yourself and your home.  

 

There is also another term for ESCROW - "the closing itself is considered "GOING TO ESCROW" which is where the title company will handle your closing transaction and fund the loan"

 

PMI - Private Mortgage Insurance, charged per month on A-paper loans over 80%.

 

PITI - Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance

 

DTI - Debt to Income Ratio (percentage of your debt, compared to your monthly income)

 

LTV - Loan to Value (percentage of the homes value to what you owe, or with purchases the amount you finance compared to the sales price (ie: 100%, 95%)
