Conventional Loan Programs:

A fixed-rate mortgage (FRM), is a fully amortizing mortgage loan where the interest rate on the note remains the same through the term of the loan, as opposed to loans where the interest rate may adjust or “float”. Fixed-rate mortgage loan payment amounts never change for the duration of the loan and the person responsible for paying back the loan benefit can count on a consistent, single payment and the ability to plan a budget based on this fixed cost.
Fixed-rate mortgages are characterized by amount of loan, interest rate, compounding frequency, and duration. With these values, the monthly repayments can be calculated.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is a United States government agency created as part of the National Housing Act of 1934. It sets standards for construction and underwriting and insures loans made by banks and other private lenders for home building
A VA loan is a mortgage loan in the United States guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
An Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM), or tracker mortgage is a mortgage loan with the interest rate on the note periodically adjusted based on an index which reflects the cost to the lender of borrowing on the credit markets

Specialty Programs:

Is defined as a borrower who is purchasing a property and has not owned a property for the last three (3) years. FTHB offers higher Loan To Value (less down payment) and the program is easier to qualify since it is less restrictive in its requirements. (Seconds from MDEAT or PHCP can be also included as part of your mortgage financing. See Mia-Dade Seconds.)

NON-QM (Qualified Mortgage) Loans:

These borrowers are defined as a person who is not a citizen of the United States of America. The program calls for providing alternate documentation to support the purchase, a visa is usually required and funds used for the down payment have to be seasoned funds, preferably in US banks. Three (3) credit references are required plus a letter from his/her accountant showing earnings for the borrower in his native country. These purchases are usually Primary homes or second homes, Loan to Values oscillate between 25 to 30% down payments.
This is the new Generation of Non-QM programs where borrowers can submit alternate documentation in order to document their income, rather than personal Tax returns or Corporate taxes.
Another NON-QM program which allows borrowers to purchase a property relying on credit scores, Credit History and lower LTV’s.
Most Banks frown upon lending borrowers financing for Investment properties. Under this program we analyze the strength of the borrower given his credit history, FICO Scores, Bank Statements and other credit documentation.
Under this program, we require 24 months of Bank Statements in order to prove the borrower’s financial strength and the ability of repayment. No personal Taxes or Corporate tax returns are required.
These loans are underwritten based on the equity that there is on the property. Location and Pride of Ownership is a deciding factor; these loans are usually 5 year termed loans, non-Owner Occupied under a corporate umbrella. LTV can range from 50-70%.
Financing for Commercial Properties, usually 5 years in term with 20 or 25 amortizations dependent in whether the borrower wants cash flow or faster repayment of principal. The loans are underwritten taking the strengths of the property and also the financial strength of the borrower. We require a current rent roll, pictures, Financial Statements on the borrower, current costs associated with the property in order to provide them with a term sheet as to what we can offer. There are no costs upfront to do the analytics.

Carmen Caicedo & Igor Benavente 

Our experience with Victor Barroso Jr. in one word “grateful”. Victor was honest, attentive, and beyond knowledgeable. Now a ...days trusting someone is unheard of, but not with Victor. He was so helpful day, evening, and weekends. Thank you so much Victor!

Karla Roxanna Aleman

When I first met Victor Barroso, he explained that his job is more service than sales. He proved that time and ... again with his thorough knowledge of local market and every time we viewed a new property Victor would perform a methodical inspection, looking for signs of problems. In short, he was always on my side working to make my house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Victor was that he was always more focused on giving me good advice, and finding homes that met my needs than he was on closing a deal, he was working with me almost a year and when I thought there was no hope and I would not find a house, he always gave me courage to move on. In the end I found the property that was perfect for me and I loving it so far. I would recommend him to anyone.

Elizabeth Martinez
