Most Common Loan Options

Classic loan programs most buyers start with.
They’re flexible, accessible, and ideal for a range of goals and budgets.

First Time Homebuyer Loans

Buying your first home should feel doable, not daunting! First time homebuyer loans are designed for buyers who have limited savings or no prior homeownership history. You’ll find programs with 1-3% down, down-payment assistance options, and flexible credit requirements, so you can build equity instead of paying rent.

✓ Simple qualification process

✓ Perfect for renters ready to buy

✓ Low down payment or down payment assistance

FHA Low Down Payment Loans

FHA loans are one of the most accessible options for buyers who have steady income but limited cash savings. With low down payments and easier credit standards, they’re ideal for families and individuals who want to buy sooner instead of saving for years. I’ll guide you through the details—like mortgage insurance and appraisal standards—so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

VA Loans for Veterans

VA loans are one of my favorite programs to work with because they’re set up to honor the people who’ve served. With no required down payment, no lender fees, and exceptional terms, they’re also some of the best loans available to those who qualify, including veterans, active-duty members, and eligible spouses.

✓ As little as 3.5% down

✓ Flexible qualification guidelines

✓ Perfect for renters ready to buy

✓ No down payment required

✓ Competitive rates and fewer fees

✓ Built-in benefits for active duty and veterans

Specialized Loan Options

Programs designed for unique goals, income types, and investment strategies.

Investor Loans
(for Rental & Flip Properties)

Investment and DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans help you grow wealth through real estate, even if you don’t fit traditional income requirements. Instead of looking at your W-2s or tax returns, loan qualification is based on the property’s projected rent and expenses. Whether you’re building a rental portfolio or financing your next flip, I’ll help structure a loan that fits your investment goals, budget, and long-term plan.

Self-Employed
and Business Owners

Traditional underwriting doesn’t always recognize the earnings of business owners, entrepreneurs, and freelancers. But a handful of loan programs use bank statements instead of tax returns to verify eligibility, offering more realistic qualification paths for individuals with consistent cash flow from non-traditional sources.

Home Loan Refinancing

Whether you’re ready to renovate, consolidate debt, save with a better interest rate, or reduce your monthly mortgage payment, refinancing is like a financial reset. If you have some equity built up, I’ll review your current mortgage and goals, compare options across multiple lenders, and help you make sure now’s the best time to tap into it. Whatever your end goal, I’ll help you get there as smoothly and cost-effectively as possible.

✓ Finance multiple properties

✓ Use projected rent to qualify

✓ Options for renovation funding and short-term holds

✓ Flexible income verification

✓ Qualify using bank statements instead of tax returns

✓ Programs for freelancers and entrepreneurs

✓ Lower your monthly mortgage payment

✓ Customize terms to match your goals

✓ Access equity for renovations or debt payoff

I truly care for the families behind the figures.

  • “Karrie was absolutely the best person I’ve ever worked with when it comes to getting a loan. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Karrie was professional, kind, and understanding, and she took the time to answer every question I had along the way. Communication was always easy — she responded quickly to both emails and texts and was always available when I needed her. I highly recommend Karrie to anyone looking for a home loan — she truly made the process simple and enjoyable!”

    | Laura Grayson, Buyer

  • “Our experience with Karrie Tucker was exceptional. From the start, she was incredibly professional and communicative, answering all our questions immediately. The process was smooth, with no surprises, and she worked diligently to secure a great interest rate for our new home. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient home financing experience!”

    | Abby R., Buyer

  • "Karrie is absolutely fantastic to work with! I’ve done nearly all of my transactions with her over the past four years I’ve been in real estate — and even trusted her with my own home purchase. She never pressures my clients, communicates quickly, and is always on top of every detail. We work so well together that I honestly can’t imagine working with anyone else!"

    | Reily Ayres, Real Estate Agent

  • "I met Karrie years ago when a client I had was using her for a loan. We hit it off. She was easy to work with and very on top of her game. This turned into us using her on personal purchases as well as us recommending her to everyone we know. As a realtor I take pride in trying to work and recommend the best and Karrie really is the best. She is able to run scenarios to make sure you’re getting the loan that makes the most sense for you and your family."
