Second Mortgage Loans

Subordinate to the first mortgage, these loans offer the borrower the ability to get money for home improvement, debt consolidation, or many other reasons without disturbing their first mortgage. Convenient when you have a low interest first mortgage.

Credit Problems

Troubled credit? Bankruptcy? Been turned down somewhere else? We offer loan programs for customers with credit problems.

Challenged Credit Loans

These mortgages are for borrowers with less-than-perfect credit. They can vary from slightly damaged credit to severely damaged. Regardless of your situation, we have a mortgage that will get you back on track.

High Debt Ratio Loans

A ratio of monthly bills to monthly income higher than 50% is considered a high debt ratio. Loan programs are available for borrowers in this situation, allowing them to finance the purchase of a home or property.

FHA Mortgage

Backed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, this mortgage offers the borrower the ability to put as little as 3% down payment – and they can even finance “allowable” closing costs. Seller can contribute up to 6% of the purchase price to the buyer towards closing costs.

VA Mortgages

Backed by the Veterans Administration and the federal government, it is similar to FHA except that you have to be a qualified Veteran or military person.
