Movement Mortgage

One of the things I like to remind buyers is that there usually isn’t just one way to structure a mortgage.

Different loan programs, down payments and financing strategies can make sense for different people. I’d much rather start with what you’re trying to accomplish and work backward from there.

That conversation can make a bigger difference than you might think.

Congratulations to Robbie Cunningham with Realty Source on successfully helping his sellers close on their home at 121 Windy Point Drive in Suffolk, Virginia!

Robbie originally helped this family purchase the home just 2 years ago, but with family being too far away, it was time for their next move. Through hard work, dedication, and great communication, Robbie was able to bring the buyer and help create a win-win for both sides in the sale and purchase process.

Helping clients through every stage of life and real estate is what it’s all about. Great job, Robbie! 👏🏡

🗣For my Self-Employed Clients. Listen up! Many of you Self-Employed can't get approved for a mortgage because your Schedule C has too many write-offs, therefore, reducing your income or may not have any Tax Returns!

Bank Statement Loans Are An Excellent Option For Someone Looking To Purchase Or Refinance A Home 🏡 And Cannot Provide "traditional" Income Documentation I.e., Tax Returns As A Means Of Qualification.

Unlike Most Loan Programs In The Marketplace, This Loan Allows You To Use Your Bank Deposits Instead Of Traditional Income Documentation. This Program Is Centered Around The Self-employed Entrepreneur 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️, Who Generates Income That May Not Be Fully Reflected On Their Tax Returns.

You submit (12) months of 🏦 Bank Statement from either your personal or business accounts.

Yes, your CREDIT still has to be on 🎯point but these programs take the headaches out of the process for self-employed persons.

Also, you will need to make a downpayment so if you are serious start saving your coins 💰and stop the foolish spending.

I ask this all the time - because everyone’s answer is different.

For some people, it’s credit. For others, it’s down payment. Sometimes it’s just the process as a whole. Most of the time, it’s not actually as complicated as it feels at the start.

It just hasn’t been explained in a way that makes sense yet.

USDA loans are one of the most overlooked options out there.
A lot of people assume they don’t qualify, or that it’s only for very specific situations - but that’s usually not the case.

If you’re open to certain areas, this can be a way to get into a home with little to no money down, and sometimes even roll in things you didn’t think were possible.

I’ve had plenty of conversations where someone thought they needed more saved or needed to wait longer, and then realized they were already in a position to make a move.

It’s just not something most people hear about unless someone brings it up.

What happens when the appraisal comes in low?

A low appraisal can feel like a deal killer… but it’s not.

It just means the value came in lower than expected — and now there’s a decision to make. There are a few ways to handle it - renegotiate, challenge it, or adjust the structure of the deal.

I’ve seen all three work, depending on the situation. The key is not to panic, just have a plan and someone walking you through it.
