We are very flexible and would highly appreciate any suggestions or recommendations you might have!

On a positive there are 15-20-30 year amortizations and increasing income qualifications including instant approval and AVM (no appraisal requirements) for very clean applicants, and creative documentation for self-employed borrowers or investors such as bank statements or even DSCR (usually up to 75%LTV) for investment properties. 

Do some research here in the forums, figure out a strong question to ask, and that will serve you better than just asking anyone to hop on a call. hello Jonathan and thank you for responding, what best research topic would you recommend I can best get into and learn the most from I have joined FaceBook pages for local meetups since I know that always helps to learn more
