NOT SURE WHICH LOAN PROGRAM IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
You don't have to figure it out alone.
A mortgage isn't simply about finding the lowest advertised rate. The right financing can depend on your income, credit history, monthly obligations, available down payment, assets, property type, occupancy and long-term goals.
At MGB Financial, we take time to understand your complete situation and help you explore available financing options.
EXPERIENCE MATTERS
With
30+ years of mortgage experience and an underwriting background, we understand that every loan file tells a different story.
If you've been told you don't qualify—or you're self-employed, have complicated income, recently changed jobs, own investment properties, or simply aren't sure where to start—talk to us before giving up on homeownership.

WHAT IS A PURCHASE LOAN?
A purchase loan is a mortgage used to help finance the purchase of a home or other eligible property.
Instead of paying the entire purchase price in cash, you provide the required down payment and finance the remaining eligible amount through a mortgage.
Your monthly housing expense may include:
✓ Principal
✓ Interest
✓ Property taxes
✓ Homeowners insurance
✓ Mortgage insurance, when applicable
✓ HOA dues, when applicable
The loan program that's right for you will depend on your individual qualifications and the property you're purchasing.
START BEFORE YOU START SHOPPING
Knowing your potential financing range before you fall in love with a home can make the buying process easier.

FIND THE RIGHT HOME LOAN FOR YOU
There is no single mortgage program that's right for every buyer.
MGB Financial offers access to traditional and specialty mortgage programs so we can help you compare available options.

Potential benefits may include:
✓ Low-down-payment options for qualified borrowers

✓ Qualified self-employed borrowers
✓ Borrowers with substantial assets
[ EXPLORE JUMBO FINANCING ]
SELF-EMPLOYED? YOUR TAX RETURN MAY NOT TELL YOUR WHOLE STORY.
Business owners and self-employed borrowers can have strong cash flow while showing lower taxable income because of legitimate business deductions.
A traditional mortgage isn't necessarily your only option.
Depending on your circumstances and program availability, alternative-documentation programs may include:
BANK STATEMENT PROGRAMS
Qualifying income may be evaluated using eligible personal or business bank deposits rather than relying solely on traditional tax-return income.
PROFIT & LOSS (P&L) PROGRAMS
Certain programs may allow eligible self-employed borrowers to qualify using a qualifying profit-and-loss statement.
1099-ONLY PROGRAMS
Certain eligible borrowers receiving 1099 income may have financing options that use alternative income documentation.
ASSET-BASED PROGRAMS
Substantial eligible assets may help qualifying borrowers demonstrate the ability to repay under certain programs.
NON-QM / ALTERNATIVE DOCUMENTATION
Programs may be available for borrowers whose income, employment, assets or property circumstances do not fit traditional agency guidelines.
NO-TAX-RETURN OPTIONS
Certain alternative-documentation programs may not require traditional tax returns for income qualification.
Self-employed doesn't automatically mean you can't qualify.

REAL ESTATE INVESTOR? LET THE PROPERTY HELP TELL THE STORY.
Investment-property financing can be very different from financing your primary residence.
MGB Financial can help investors explore:
✓ DSCR Loans
✓ Conventional Investment Loans
✓ Rental Property Financing
✓ 1–4 Unit Investment Properties
✓ Purchase Financing
✓ Cash-Out Refinance Options
✓ Portfolio and alternative financing, when available
DSCR LOANS
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) program may qualify an eligible investment property primarily by evaluating the property's rental income in relation to its housing obligation, subject to program requirements.
This can be particularly useful for real estate investors who don't want to qualify solely through traditional personal-income documentation.
[ EXPLORE INVESTOR & DSCR LOANS ]
NEED HELP WITH YOUR DOWN PAYMENT?
A large down payment isn't always required to purchase a home.
Qualified buyers may have access to programs that can assist with eligible down payment and/or closing costs.
Availability and eligibility can depend on factors such as:
✓ Household income
✓ Property location
✓ Occupancy
✓ Credit qualifications
✓ Purchase price
✓ First-mortgage program
✓ Individual assistance-program requirements
Don't assume you need 20% down before asking about your options.

HOW THE HOME PURCHASE PROCESS WORKS
1. INITIAL PRE-QUALIFICATION
We learn about your income, employment, credit, assets, debts, available down payment and homebuying goals to provide an initial understanding of your financing options.
2. MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL
When appropriate, we review supporting documentation and credit information to determine whether you may meet applicable program requirements.
A stronger financing position can also help demonstrate to sellers that you're a serious buyer.
3. FIND YOUR HOME
Work with your real estate professional to search for a property that fits your needs and financing range.
4. MAKE AN OFFER
Once you've found the right property, your real estate professional can help prepare and negotiate your purchase offer.
5. COMPLETE YOUR LOAN APPLICATION
Once you're ready to proceed, complete the required mortgage application and provide the necessary property and financial documentation.
6. PROCESSING & UNDERWRITING
The loan file is assembled and reviewed, and the underwriter evaluates the application against the requirements of the selected loan program.
7. APPRAISAL
When required, an independent appraisal is ordered to provide an opinion of the property's value for lending purposes.
8. FINAL LOAN APPROVAL
Once required underwriting conditions have been satisfied, the loan can proceed toward final approval and closing.
9. CLOSING & YOUR NEW HOME
You'll review and sign the required closing documents, complete applicable closing requirements and, once the transaction is completed, receive the keys to your new home.
HOW MUCH HOME CAN YOU AFFORD?
Your buying power isn't determined by income alone.
A mortgage professional may need to consider:
Income • Credit • Monthly Debts • Down Payment • Assets • Interest Rate • Property Taxes • Insurance • HOA • Property Type • Occupancy • Loan Program
That's why an online mortgage calculator can only tell you part of the story.
DON'T GUESS. LET US REVIEW THE NUMBERS.
