As a first-time homebuyer, Ryan will guide you through the entire process—from pre-approval to closing. He also offers DPA (Down Payment Assistance) programs that can reduce upfront costs and make homeownership more accessible.
You’ll typically need proof of income (W-2s or tax returns), bank statements, credit history, employment verification, and identification. If you’re self-employed, additional documentation like bank statements or profit and loss reports may be required.
Yes. Ryan specializes in helping self-employed clients through Bank Statement Loans and Non-QM loan options, which don’t require traditional income verification and are ideal for entrepreneurs or freelancers.
The average mortgage process can take 21 to 30 days, depending on the loan type and how quickly documents are submitted. Ryan’s team works efficiently to keep the timeline on track and will update you at every stage.

If you’re a veteran or active-duty service member, a VA Loan offers benefits like zero down payment and no private mortgage insurance. FHA Loans are great for buyers with lower credit scores or limited savings for a down payment. Ryan will help you choose the loan that aligns with your goals.
Ryan is licensed in California and Nevada, and can assist clients purchasing or refinancing homes anywhere within these states.
Yes, and it’s highly recommended. A mortgage pre-approval shows sellers you’re a serious buyer and helps you understand how much you can afford. Ryan offers a quick and easy pre-approval process to get you started with confidence.
A Conventional Loan is ideal for borrowers with strong credit and offers flexible terms with competitive rates. In contrast, an FHA Loan is backed by the government and designed for those with lower credit scores or smaller down payments, making homeownership more accessible.
VA Loans are available to active-duty service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses. To qualify, you’ll need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA, meet credit and income requirements, and plan to use the home as your primary residence.

A Reverse Mortgage allows homeowners aged 62+ to convert home equity into cash, with no monthly mortgage payments required. The loan is repaid when the homeowner sells the home, moves out, or passes away, making it a valuable retirement tool.
Yes! While credit scores impact refinancing options, FHA Streamline Refinance or Non-QM Loans may allow you to refinance with lower requirements. Improving your credit before refinancing can also help secure better rates.
