Mortgage Strategy & Equity FAQs

Professional lending insights for Texas, Florida, and Colorado homeowners since 1981.

❓ How does a mortgage broker differ from a retail bank?

Retail banks only offer their own proprietary products. As a mortgage broker, we access 20+ wholesale lenders with one credit pull, allowing us to source the most competitive rate and term for your specific financial profile.

❓ Can I qualify for a mortgage without tax returns?

Yes. Our bank statement programs allow self-employed borrowers to qualify using 12 or 24 months of business deposits. This calculates income based on actual cash flow rather than net taxable income.

❓ Do you offer mortgage pre-qualification for out-of-state relocations?

Yes. We manage remote approvals for professionals moving to Texas, Florida, or Colorado. We can use signed corporate offer letters to verify income before your first day of work.

❓ Can I use my 401(k) or IRA to qualify if I am retired?

Yes. Asset depletion lending converts your total liquid assets into monthly qualifying income. This is a primary strategy for retirees and snowbirds relocating to tax-friendly states.

❓ What are the primary benefits of a VA mortgage?

VA loans offer 0% down payments and no monthly mortgage insurance (PMI). We specialize in military PCS timelines and accept Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) as qualifying income.

❓ Can I use home equity to pay off high-interest debt?

Yes. A cash-out refinance allows you to access home equity to consolidate unsecured debt into a single, lower-rate mortgage payment, significantly increasing monthly cash flow.

❓ Does Silver Mortgage charge upfront application fees?

No. We charge a $0 application fee and provide same-day cost worksheets. Third-party fees like appraisals are paid directly to vendors with no markups.
