    I specialize in arranging FHA purchase and refinance loans for non-traditional borrowers who have been turned away from banks and brokers because of credit issues. If you've been discharged from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or are currently in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy or a Consumer Credit Counseling program, use this blog to assist you as you compare options for a purchase or refinance.

    I have served homeowners and homebuyers since August 2007 when the collapse of the housing and financial markets began. Having learned the mortgage business in the worst economic times since the Depression, I have developed the knowledge, expertise, and resources to provide you with the best solution for your home financing needs - especially if you have a troubled credit history.
