Check refi options →Who we work with
Most of our files are not simple W-2 purchases
Straightforward buyers are welcome. But the reason people call is usually that something about the file needs thought.
Homebuyers
First-time and move-up buyers comparing conventional, FHA, VA, and jumbo paths in a high-price market.
First-time buyer loans →Self-employed borrowers
Business owners, 1099 earners, and contractors whose tax returns do not show the whole story.
Self-employed loans →Real estate investors
DSCR, bridge, private money, and conventional investment financing, reviewed by someone who invests too.
Investor loans →Jumbo borrowers
Larger loan amounts where documentation, reserves, and structure matter more than a headline rate.
Jumbo scenarios →Homeowners pulling equity
HELOC versus cash-out refinance versus leaving the first mortgage alone. The math decides.
Refinance and HELOC →Non-QM scenarios
Bank statement, asset-based, no-doc-style, and other alternative documentation programs when the standard box does not fit.
Non-QM options →Renovation and construction
FHA 203(k), conventional renovation, one-time close construction, bridge, and private capital options.
Renovation loans →Hard money and private money
Short-term investor and property-based lending when speed, repairs, or the exit strategy drive the decision.
Private money loans →Loan options

Why Justin
Lender perspective and investor perspective in the same conversation
The right loan is not always the lowest advertised rate. It is the one that fits the property, the borrower, the exit strategy, the timeline, and the actual numbers. That is a different conversation than a rate table.
25+ years in the market
Broker, direct lender, real estate investor, and advisor across multiple cycles in Southern California.
Thousands of transactions
Pattern recognition on what actually gets to the closing table versus what stalls in underwriting.
Broker access, not one shelf
Multiple lending sources compared against your file instead of one bank's product list.
Local office, multi-state licensing
La Verne office. NMLS #242219, company NMLS #1647915, CA DRE #02039443. Licensed where authorized.
How it works
Four steps, no mystery
Tell us the goal
Purchase, refinance, equity, or investment. Include the timeline and anything unusual about the income or property.
Review the file
Credit, income documentation, assets, and property details determine which programs are realistic.
Compare structures
Rate, payment, cost, reserves, prepayment terms, and documentation load, side by side.
Move when it makes sense
Apply when the numbers hold up. You will know the tradeoffs before you commit.
