FOR HOMEBUYERS & HOMEOWNERS
Tell me what you’re trying to do. I’ll help you find the way.
Every mortgage starts with a real conversation—not a sales pitch. I’m fully transparent, I meet you where you are, and I explain your options plainly. Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, investing, refinancing, or tapping into equity, I’ll help you make a decision you feel good about.
Let’s talk about your plans →Self-employed & investing
Bank statement, DSCR, commercial and other creative loan solutions.
Using your equity
Cash-out refinancing, HELOCs, home equity loans and second liens.
The unusual stuff
If there’s a responsible way to finance it, I’ll help you find it.
MORE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR MOVE
Your situation is unique.
Let’s find your options.
Self-employed? Saving for your first home? Planning an investment? Tell me what you’re working toward. I’ll help you explore the programs and understand what could fit.
01 / MORE WAYS TO QUALIFY
Your income doesn’t have to fit the usual mold
Self-employed & bank statements
Your tax return may not tell the whole story. Depending on the program, bank statements, 1099s, a profit-and-loss statement or assets may help document income.
Examples: Open Contender · Jet Mortgage
Talk through my income ITIN & nontraditional documentation
An ITIN, international income or limited credit history can call for a different approach. I’ll help you explore programs designed for these situations.
Examples: Open WayFinder · DreamBuilder
Discuss my options Credit challenges & unusual situations
A past credit event or an earlier “no” doesn’t tell the whole story. Let’s review your goals, timeline and the programs that might apply.
Example: Open DreamBuilder

Need help with the down payment?
DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE
A little help.
More possibility.
Help with your down payment can take a few different forms. Let’s set aside time to compare what you qualify for, what it costs, and whether you’ll need to pay it back.
Explore down payment helpGrants
No repayment when you meet the program’s requirements.
Forgiven over time
Typically no monthly payment. Meet the required conditions and the balance is forgiven.
Pay it back later
Repayment waits—often until you sell, refinance, or the loan comes due.
Pay it back monthly
Repay the assistance in scheduled monthly payments, with interest if applicable.
Every program has different eligibility and repayment rules. “Silent seconds” generally have no current monthly payment; they aren’t always forgivable. Leaving a forgivable program early may require repayment.
03 / INVESTORS & BUSINESS
Financing beyond your primary home
DSCR investor loans
Buying or refinancing a rental? A DSCR loan may use the property’s rental income to help you qualify. Credit, equity, reserves, and property requirements still apply.
Bridge, rehab & private money
Buying, renovating or refinancing an investment property? Business-purpose lending may offer paths tailored to the project.
Commercial & specialty capital
Have a larger or less conventional real estate project? Let’s talk through the property and potential lending partners.
Not sure which box you fit into?
That’s what a conversation is for. Tell me what you’re working on, and we’ll start there.
Program descriptions are general information, not an offer or approval. Eligibility, rates, assistance structures and availability depend on lender guidelines and may change. Business-purpose financing may have different requirements from consumer mortgages.

FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS
The lender you refer is a reflection of you.

Focused on the finish line
I stay engaged, keep everyone informed, and do the work it takes to close.
MEET STEVE
Licensed at 18… I’ve been helping people make big moves ever since.
Michigan raised, now at home in Fort Myers. I’ve lived in six states—including California and Hawaii—and love adventure, travel, and time near the water. My Chihuahua mix was found abandoned on a bridge; my tuxedo cat was rescued from a Redbox in Tucson. Rescue stories have a way of finding me.
Watching Million Dollar Listing with my mom sparked my interest in real estate. I earned my real estate license at 18, and working with buyers inspired me to become the lending partner I’d always wanted: responsive, resourceful, and honest. After leaving corporate leadership, I began building an independent mortgage career with Loan Factory—focused on clear communication, honest guidance, and finding the right path for each client.
I take the work seriously and keep the conversation relaxed. As a business owner, I know trust comes from showing up for the people who count on you. Expect patience, clear answers, and zero judgment—whether you’re ready to apply or simply have a few questions.
