Mortgage Solutions We Offer in Charlotte, NC
We offer a wide range of mortgage solutions, from traditional loans to investment property loans, so you can always get a loan that matches your needs.
Non-QM Loans
- DSCR Loans: Instead of qualifying for a loan with your credit score and income, DSCR loans allow you to qualify based on the income of your property.
- Bank Statement Loans: If you can’t provide W-2s and other documents to qualify for a traditional loan, you can qualify for a bank statement loan using recent bank statements.
- Asset-Based Loans: Asset-based loans are a simple way to take out a secured loan using assets as collateral.
Traditional Mortgages
- Conventional Loans: These are the standard mortgages most homeowners take out. Credit score and income requirements may be stricter with conventional loans.
- VA Loans: Active-duty service members, National Guard/Reserve members, and qualifying surviving spouses can take out VA loans at a lower cost.
- FHA Loans: FHA loans are provided by the Federal Housing Administration, helping low-to-moderate income buyers secure a loan with fewer requirements.
- USDA Loans: USDA loans can only be used to purchase qualifying rural or suburban properties, but they come with better interest rates if you qualify.
Home Equity Solutions
- Home Equity Loans: A home equity loan, or HELOAN, allows you to take out a lump-sum loan using the equity you have in your home as collateral.
- Home Equity Lines of Credit: Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are similar to HELOANs, but you can take out a line of credit instead of a lump-sum amount.
Refinancing Solutions
- Rate-and-Term Refinance: If you want to lower your mortgage interest rate or switch your 30-year mortgage to a 15-year mortgage, a rate-and-term refinance can help.
- Cash-Out Refinance: Cash-out refinances allow you to take cash out using your equity by replacing your existing mortgage with a bigger one.
