What each loan is for and what it takes. Max compares the same program across several lenders, so you see more than one price for it.

LoanBest forWhat it takesDetails
Buy a home
First-time home buyer Your first purchase, with little saved for a down payment Low down payment loans, plus down payment assistance through Colorado programs like CHFA if you qualify
FHA loan Buyers with a smaller down payment or credit that's still being built As little as 3.5% down with a 580+ credit score
VA loan Veterans, active-duty service members and eligible surviving spouses No down payment for eligible borrowers and no monthly mortgage insurance
Conventional loan Steady income and solid credit From 3% down; no mortgage insurance once you put 20% down
Jumbo loan Higher-priced homes in Denver and mountain towns For loan amounts above the conforming limit (the yearly cap on standard loans), usually with a larger down payment and reserves
Refinance
Refinance Lowering your payment, changing the term or taking cash out Equity in your home and a clear reason the new loan beats the current one
Divorce refinance Keeping the home after a divorce Qualifying on your own income to take a former spouse off the loan, timed with the settlement
Invest
Investor loans Rental and investment properties Comparing conventional investment loans, DSCR loans and cash-out refinances
DSCR loans Rental properties that pay for themselves Qualifying mainly on the property's rental income instead of your pay stubs

Investors: qualify on the property’s rent

A DSCR loan looks at what the rental earns, so your tax returns are not what decides it. Max compares investor lenders and tells you which structure fits the deal.

  • DSCR loans for long-term rentals, and short-term rentals with some lenders
  • Conventional investment loans and cash-out refinances
  • Closing in an LLC, where the lender allows it

Real estate agents: keep your buyer’s loan on schedule

Max works with several lenders, so more of your buyers have a way to qualify, and he tells you where the loan stands at each milestone.

  • Pre-approval letters written for the specific offer
  • You and your buyer deal with Max directly, from pre-approval to closing
  • FHA, VA, conventional, jumbo, CHFA and DSCR loans

Common questions about Colorado mortgages

What's the difference between a mortgage broker and a bank?

A bank can only offer the loans it makes. A mortgage broker works with several lenders, compares their options for your situation and handles the process with whichever lender fits best.

How much do I need for a down payment in Colorado?

It depends on the loan. VA loans can require no down payment for eligible veterans and service members, FHA loans start at 3.5% down with a qualifying credit score, and some conventional loans allow as little as 3% down. Max will tell you which of these you can use and what the cash to close looks like.

Do I need a perfect credit score to get a mortgage?

No. Different loan programs have different credit guidelines, and FHA loans are designed to be more flexible. The quickest way to know where you stand is a short call with Max.

Can I buy a rental property without using my personal income?

Often, yes. A DSCR loan qualifies the purchase mainly on the property's expected rental income instead of your pay stubs or tax returns.

Do you lend outside Denver and the Western Slope?

Yes. Max focuses on the Denver metro and Western Colorado, including Grand Junction, Montrose and Durango, and works with borrowers across Colorado.
