Frequently asked questions

I offer a comprehensive range of home loan programs for borrowers throughout the entire state of Florida, including FHA loans, self-employed and bank statement loans, conventional loans, jumbo loans, DSCR and investor loans, refinancing, HELOCs, VA loans, down payment assistance (DPA) programs, USDA loans, and reverse mortgages. As a licensed mortgage broker with NEXA Lending, LLC, I have access to hundreds of wholesale lenders, so I can match you to the right program for your unique situation, not just whatever a single bank happens to offer.

Start with a free consultation! The first step is a mortgage pre-approval, which tells you exactly how much home you can afford and shows sellers you're a serious, qualified buyer. Many first-time buyers across Florida also qualify for down payment assistance programs that can cover some or all your down payment and closing costs. I'll walk you through every step, from your initial credit review all the way to closing day, at no cost and with no obligation. I serve first-time buyers in every county across the state of Florida.

Yes- and this is an area I have significant experience with. Many self-employed borrowers, freelancers, and business
owners believe they can't qualify for a home loan because their tax returns show limited income. With bank statement loan programs and other alternative income documentation solutions, homeownership is absolutely within reach. I help self-employed clients across all of Florida find the right loan program for their unique financial picture.

Conventional loans follow standard lending guidelines and are available to a wide range of borrowers, typically
requiring a credit score of 620 or higher with a down payment as low as 3%. Jumbo loans are for purchase prices that exceed conventional loan limits and are ideal for buyers purchasing highervalue properties throughout Florida. I'll help you determine which loan type fits your purchase price, credit profile, and financial goals.

A DSCR loan -Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan - is a mortgage program designed specifically for real estate investors. Instead of qualifying based on your personal income or tax returns, approval is based on the property's ability to generate enough rental income to cover its debt obligations. If the property's rental income covers or exceeds the monthly mortgage payment, you may qualify, even without traditional income documentation. This is a powerful financing tool for investors to build or expand a rental portfolio anywhere in Florida.

Yes. In addition to DSCR loans, I work with a variety of investor-focused mortgage solutions including investment
property conventional loans and portfolio loan programs. Whether you're purchasing your first rental property or growing an existing real estate investment portfolio in Florida, I can help you identify the most cost-effective financing strategy for your goals.

A refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new loan- typically to lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, or change your loan term. A cash-out refinance also lets you access your home's equity as cash. A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is a revolving line of credit secured by your home's equity that you can draw from as needed, like a credit card. I'll help you evaluate which option makes the most financial sense for your situation.

Absolutely, VA loans are a program I'm proud to offer. If you're an eligible veteran, active-duty service member, or
surviving spouse, a VA loan allows you to purchase a home anywhere in Florida with zero down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI). I'll help you obtain your Certificate of Eligibility and guide you through the complete VA loan process, no matter which part of Florida you're buying in.

Down payment assistance (DPA) programs are grants or low-interest secondary loans provided by state and local
housing agencies to help buyers cover their down payment and closing costs. Florida has several programs available, including options for first-time buyers, moderate-income buyers, and buyers in specific counties. I work with multiple DPA programs statewide and can quickly assess whether you qualify during a free consultation.

Yes — USDA loans offer 100% financing (zero down payment) for eligible buyers purchasing in qualifying rural and suburban areas of Florida. Many parts of Central Florida, North Florida, and the Panhandle have USDAeligible ones. I'll check your target area and income eligibility quickly to let you know if this program is a fit.

A reverse mortgage is a loan available to Florida homeowners age 62 and older that allows you to convert a portion of your home equity into tax-free funds -without having to make monthly mortgage payments. You continue to own your home and can use the funds for living expenses, healthcare, home improvements, or anything else you choose. The loan is repaid when the home is sold or is no longer your primary residence. A reverse mortgage can be a powerful retirement planning tool for eligible Florida homeowners.

It depends on the loan type. FHA loans can be approved with a credit score as low as 580 with a 3.5% down payment.
Conventional loans typically require a 620 or higher. VA and USDA loans have flexible credit guidelines as well. Even if your credit needs improvement, reach out to me. I can connect you with resources to strengthen your credit profile and map out a clear path to qualifying.

I serve the entire state of Floridaevery county, every city. Whether you're buying in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Naples, Fort Lauderdale, Gainesville, or anywhere else across the Sunshine State, I can help you find the right mortgage and guide you through the process from pre-approval to closing.
