Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the easiest to get a home loan through?

The easiest lender depends on your income, credit profile, down payment, property, and the loan program you qualify for. A mortgage broker can compare multiple available options instead of limiting you to one bank’s guidelines. Residential One Lending helps borrowers review conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and first time homebuyer programs, including options for some applicants with imperfect credit or past credit issues.
