I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Richard, and I was born into a loving and respectful environment where the only place success came before hard work was in the dictionary. At age 25, I earned an education in the culinary arts and became a professional chef. Once I had my two beautiful daughters, I decided to make a career change so I could spend time with them and my lovely wife. Now, I enjoy helping people experience the American dream of homeownership in Scottsdale, AZ, at America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.
When it comes to getting you a home loan, I personalize the process. Everyone is unique, and so are your goals and circumstances. That’s why I offer a variety of home financing options from conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans to help you get one step closer to owning the home of your dreams. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to call, as I’m available any time to help – including right now. Let’s start your journey home.

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.
