We narrow it down — you stay in control

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you close a purchase loan in California?
Most purchase loans fund in under 30 days. We issue a full pre-approval up front, order the appraisal early, and send weekly updates so you, your agent and escrow always know where things stand.
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the program: FHA from 3.5%, conventional from 3% for first-time buyers, VA and USDA with zero down. We’ll show you the real monthly payment for each so you can choose with the numbers in front of you.
Can I qualify if I'm self-employed?
Yes. Bank-statement, P&L-only, 1099 and DSCR programs qualify on your real cash flow instead of your tax returns. Bring 12–24 months of statements and we’ll price it.
Should I refinance right now?
Only if the break-even works. We run it before you apply: how much you save each month, what it costs, and how long until it pays for itself. Sometimes the best advice is ‘you’re in a good spot — leave it alone.’
