I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Scott Evans, and I’ve been in the mortgage industry since 2006, closing over $2 billion in mortgage transactions. Since 2016 alone, I’ve personally closed over 2,000 mortgage deals totaling $838 million, with $440 million in VA loans. More than half of my business is dedicated to serving our Military and Veterans, and I’m proud to have been named the #1 VA Lender in the U.S. by *Scotsman Guide* for two consecutive years. Additionally, I’ve held the rank of #1 Individual Lender on Zillow for San Diego County.
My commitment to helping families achieve their homeownership dreams led me to create Homebuyer Seminars for Military and Veterans statewide. At the San Diego, CA branch of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I’m honored to continue offering top-tier service to my clients.
- #1 for VA Volume Nationwide

Frequently asked questions
-
Refinancing costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and include fees such as appraisal, title insurance, and closing costs. Factors like your loan type, location, and credit score can significantly impact these expenses. Our team can help to provide strategies that can help minimize costs.
-
To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.
-
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
-
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.
-
To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.

It depends on the home loan. For example, conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620. But VA and FHA loans may allow homebuyers to qualify with a credit score as low as 500. It’s important to note that lower credit scores often come with additional requirements or higher interest rates.
-
It typically takes a few months to buy a home. The exact length of the process will depend on the market, home and other financing factors.
At CrossCountry Mortgage, we’re dedicated to making the mortgage side of homebuying smooth and stress-free – offering full approvals quickly through our FastTrack program.
-
First, let’s see if you qualify for certain government-back loans. If you are a Veteran or Service Member, VA loans require 0% down. Same goes for rural homebuyers with USDA loans.
Second, talk to a CCM loan officer about local, state and national down payment assistance programs that may cover your down payment costs.
-
That is more about you than the market! You’ll want to consider if you are ready to take on the homebuying process and then calculate your purchasing power with a CCM loan officer. Once you know your homebuying budget, it’s time to house hunt and explore your desired community for the home of your dreams.

- Your credit score
- Proof of employment and income
- Cash or assistance for a down payment
- The right loan
