If you have an FHA, VA, or USDA loan, you may qualify to lower your rate with no appraisal, no paystubs, and no tax returns required. Most clients are surprised they qualify. It does not matter who your current lender is. Art can process your Express Refi regardless of your servicer, and he will move fast.
The most widely used Express Refi track. If your current mortgage is FHA-backed, you may qualify for a lower rate with virtually no paperwork, regardless of your credit score or current home value. Even if you are underwater, this works.
The VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance is one of the most powerful refinance tools available. Veterans deserve more, and Art makes sure you get every benefit you have earned. Fast, low-doc, and usually zero out-of-pocket.

Going through a divorce? Lost a co-borrower? You may be able to remove someone from your loan and keep your home without a full appraisal.
When the remaining borrower can qualify on their own income and credit, Art can remove a departing co-borrower from your FHA, VA, or USDA loan. No appraisal still required in most cases. Art will determine which track is right for your exact situation on the first call.
Common situations Art handles:
Most lenders in Reno offer 4 to 6 programs. Art has 16, including three programs exclusive to clients who work with him. If there is a path, Art will find it.
Replace your existing loan with a better rate when pricing allows, a different term, or both. Often the most straightforward path to a lower payment.
Refinance for more than you owe and receive the difference in cash. Home improvements, debt payoff, investments, your equity, your call.
If your home has appreciated and you now have 20% or more equity, refinancing can eliminate PMI permanently, saving $150 to $300 per month.
If your adjustable rate is approaching a reset, lock into a fixed rate now. Predictable payments, no surprises, no rate anxiety.
Moving from 30 to 15 years can save tens of thousands in total interest, and sometimes the monthly payment barely changes.
Closing costs covered via a slight rate adjustment. No cash needed at closing. The right move for homeowners who want savings without upfront costs.
Roll high-interest credit cards, car loans, and personal loans into your mortgage. Usually the lowest combined rate available anywhere.
For high-value homes in Incline Village, South Lake Tahoe, and luxury Reno. Competitive rates and flexible terms on loans above conforming limits.
Stuck paying 10 to 14 percent on a hard money or bridge loan? Art specializes in pulling investors and homeowners out of expensive short-term financing into real long-term mortgages. Save thousands per month.
Your tax returns do not tell the whole story. If you are self-employed in Reno, Art can qualify you using 12 to 24 months of bank statements, no W-2s required.
Art works with a specialized program that can restructure your student loan payments, lowering your monthly obligation and improving your debt-to-income ratio.
If Art has helped you before, you may qualify for preferred refinance rates not available to the general public. Loyalty works both ways, call Art to find out if you qualify.

FHA loans carry mortgage insurance for the life of the loan in many cases. Once you have sufficient equity and credit, switching to conventional eliminates MIP forever.

For homeowners 62 and older, convert your home equity into tax-free income or eliminate your monthly mortgage payment entirely. Art will walk you through every detail honestly.
Most lenders follow a checklist. Art follows your situation. In 27+ years, he has closed loans that banks, credit unions, and other mortgage companies gave up on. If you have heard "no" before, call Art. The conversation is free. The answer might surprise you.
"Other lenders told me I shouldn't refinance because I'm moving soon."
You do not need a 30-year commitment to save money now. If current ARM pricing beats your rate today, Art can put you in an Adjustable Rate Mortgage, capture the savings while they last, and sell before any adjustment kicks in. No break-even problem, and potentially a lower payment until you move.
"My bank said my score is too low to refinance right now."
A dropped score is often a symptom, not a dead end. Art can explore a cash-out refinance to consolidate high-interest debt, which simultaneously lowers your DTI and gives you the runway to rebuild your score. Art will also map out exactly what needs to happen to get you to the rate you deserve.
"Every lender I called said they can't do my loan because I just changed jobs."
Art has been doing these loans for 27+ years, even when others said it could not be done. New job situations have nuances most loan officers never learn. Same field, promotion, higher income, Art knows the guidelines and the paths. Call him before you assume the answer is no.
"I've been paying for 18 years. I was told refinancing would reset the clock and cost me more."
Not with the right strategy. Art can refinance you into a shorter remaining term, at a lower rate when pricing allows, sometimes eliminating PMI in the process. You may end up paying less per month AND paying the home off faster. The clock does not have to reset. Call Art and run the real numbers.
Enter your current loan details and a target rate to see your monthly savings and months until closing costs are recovered.
