Every home loan is different of course, but over the years I have had several situations that upon first glance may look improbable, if not impossible. I wanted to list some home loan issues here, to make you realize that maybe your home loan situation is not that tricky, and to give you hope that whatever it may be, we can handle it together. I enjoy going as far as possible in order to get things done for my clients. I often say that it is the job of the Underwriter to put up road blocks, it’s my job to figure out a way around them.

So, in my best Game Show Host voice, let’s not delay any longer………….
