Let's Begin

Let's talk about
your front door.

Every good loan starts with a conversation, and this one is free. Tell me where you are and where you want to be, and I will give you an honest read on what is possible. No pressure, no obligation. I’m looking forward to hearing about your homeownership dreams.

Common Questions

Answers before you even ask.

I'm a first-time buyer and don't know where to start. What's the first step?

A free, no-pressure phone call. You tell me your goal and your worries, and I give you an honest read on where you stand. From there we build a step-by-step plan: what to save, which debts to tackle first, and any credit steps that can help before you ever apply.

I'm self-employed and my tax returns show low income. Can I still qualify?

Very possibly. Bank statement and Non-QM programs look at your real cash flow instead of only what's left after write-offs. Being your own boss should not work against you, and for many of my clients it doesn't have to.

My loan stalled or was denied with another lender. Can you help?

Bring it to me for a fresh look, at no cost. I have taken over deals in trouble and still gotten them to close, often in days. The earlier you call, the more options we have.

What states are you licensed in?

United American Mortgage Corporation and I are licensed in 27 states: AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IA, MD, MI, MT, NV, NJ, NC, OH, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, and WY. The full state names and license identifiers are on the Licensing page, and every license can be verified through NMLS Consumer Access.

Do you work in my area? Where are your local clients?

Nationally, I can help anywhere I hold a license (the 27 states above). Locally, most of my clients are in Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and Los Angeles County, including Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Oak Park, Calabasas, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura, Ojai, Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Carpinteria. See Areas Served for more.

How much down payment do I really need?

Often less than people assume. VA loans offer zero-down financing for eligible borrowers, FHA allows lower down payments, and state assistance programs like GSFA and CalHFA can help bridge the gap for buyers who qualify. We look at your numbers and find the path that fits.

What does it cost to talk to you?

Nothing. The first conversation is free, and there is no pressure and no obligation. All loans are subject to credit review and underwriting approval, and nothing on this site is a commitment to lend, but the conversation itself costs you only a few minutes.
