WHO I HELP

Your income doesn’t fit in a neat little box. Good.

A complicated tax return doesn’t automatically mean a complicated path to homeownership. It means your advisor needs to know which questions to ask—and which loan programs are actually worth considering.

Self-Employed Buyers

Bank statements, profit-and-loss statements, 1099 income, and tax returns with aggressive write-offs.

THE PROCESS

Clarity before paperwork.

No guessing. No product dump. We start with the whole picture and build from there.

  1. 01

    Tell me the real story

    Income, assets, goals, properties, tax strategy—and anything the last lender didn’t understand.

  2. 02

    Compare smart options

    I’ll explain the tradeoffs in plain English so you know what works, what doesn’t, and why.

  3. 03

    Move with confidence

    Once the structure makes sense, my team takes the file from approval through closing.

THE FIXER

Rick knows a guy—and when mortgages get complicated, he is the guy.

I’ve spent 39 years helping people make sense of mortgage decisions. My job isn’t to force your finances into the easiest box. It’s to understand the full picture, find the right structure, and tell you the truth—even when the truth isn’t the answer you expected.

Based in Long Beach and serving clients across California, Texas, and Arizona.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions worth asking.

Can I qualify if my tax returns show heavy write-offs?

Possibly. Depending on your full financial picture, bank-statement, P&L, asset-depletion, or other loan options may be worth reviewing.

Do you only work with self-employed buyers?

No. That’s a specialty, not a restriction. I also help traditional salaried buyers, veterans, investors, and homeowners evaluating a refinance.

Will checking my scenario commit me to applying?

No. We can first discuss your goals and numbers. A secure application comes next only when it makes sense.

Do you promise the lowest rate?

No honest advisor should promise that before reviewing the full transaction. I’ll show you the options, costs, and tradeoffs so you can make a clear decision.
