Josh Lemos and Lemos Group work with first-time buyers, move-up buyers and self-employed borrowers, with a focus on Greater Denver and Vail. These answers help connect the property you want with the financing review it needs.
Start with how you will use the property, where it is located, how you earn and whether another home must be sold. Those details can change the financing options. Lemos Group serves California, Colorado, Florida and Oregon through ARBOR Financial Group.
Build a separate total-cost estimate for each home, including taxes, insurance, association dues and likely upkeep. A condo’s lower price may come with significant recurring dues. Compare the complete housing obligation, not just the mortgage principal and interest shown by a calculator.
That depends on qualification for overlapping obligations and access to approved closing funds. Discuss the sale timeline and any contingent funds early. Expected sale proceeds are not the same as cash already available, and special financing should not be assumed to be approved.
Start by checking standard documented-income options. A business owner may qualify conventionally, while a bank statement or other alternative method could be relevant in a different situation. Compare both the income accepted and the cost of any available alternative.
Often yes. The lender may review the project, insurance, financial condition and occupancy characteristics in addition to your unit. A condo operating like a hotel raises different questions from an ordinary residential project. Share the property information before relying on a general preapproval.
Explain the real use plan at the beginning. Principal-residence, second-home and investment financing have different conditions. Neither occasional personal use nor a vacation destination automatically establishes the correct category; the lender must evaluate the facts and program rules.
Account for down payment, fees, prepaid expenses and lender-required reserves, then allow for moving and repairs. If you are keeping another property, budget for that exposure too. A maximum approval is not a reason to use every available dollar at closing.
Use this site’s call or inquiry options for the goal, property location and timing. Josh can then direct you to the appropriate application and document process. Keep identity, tax and bank records in the designated secure channel rather than a general message.
