Franklin Direct · Ladera Ranch, CA
Bank statements. P&L. Low FICO. Tough condos. DSCR. If another lender told you no — that's usually where I start.
Tell me your situation — I'll tell you what's possible. No cost, no obligation.
Secure & confidential. Tyler reviews every submission personally.
Specialty lending
Most loan officers work within a narrow box — W2 income, clean credit, standard property. I built my practice around the exceptions. Business owners, investors, complicated credit histories, unusual properties. If your file has a story, I know how to tell it to an underwriter.
Self-employed? Skip the tax returns. 12 or 24 months of personal or business bank statements qualify your income — no W2 required.
Non-QMQualify on the property's rental income, not yours. Perfect for real estate investors scaling a portfolio without touching personal DTI.
InvestorA CPA-prepared profit & loss statement is all the income documentation you need. No tax returns, no 4506-T — just your actual business picture.
Non-QMCredit challenges don't automatically mean no. Agency overlays, FHA down to 580, and non-QM paths exist for clients banks turn away every day.
All CreditNon-warrantable, litigation, low owner-occupancy, high commercial space — condos that fail FNMA/FHLMC guidelines still have financing paths.
PortfolioRetired with assets but limited income? Asset depletion programs convert your portfolio into qualifying income — no job required.
SpecialtyCommon questions
Yes — this is exactly what bank statement loans are for. Instead of tax returns, we use 12 or 24 months of deposits to calculate your qualifying income. Business owners who write off expenses aggressively often qualify for significantly more this way than through traditional documentation.
Absolutely. FHA loans go down to 580, and non-QM programs exist for scores in the 500s depending on the scenario. The full picture matters — equity, reserves, income stability — not just the FICO number. Tell me your situation and I'll find the best path.
Non-warrantable condos — buildings with pending litigation, high investor concentration, low owner-occupancy, or large commercial space — don't qualify for conventional or FHA financing. But portfolio lenders do these all the time. I have access to programs specifically designed for this scenario.
DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It's a loan for investment properties where qualification is based on whether the rental income covers the mortgage payment — your personal income doesn't matter. If the property cash-flows, you typically qualify. Ideal for investors building a portfolio.
Pre-approval letters same business day. Full purchase closes typically in 21–30 days. Because we handle processing, underwriting, docs, and funding all in-house — no third-party hand-offs — we move faster and with far fewer surprises than most lenders.

About Tyler
I live in the same community I serve. My family calls Ladera Ranch home — and when I help a client close on a house here, I know exactly what that means. These aren't just transactions. They're the foundation of someone's life.
I've spent my career specializing in the loans most lenders won't touch — bank statements, DSCR, P&L, tough condos, complex credit. Not because they're easy, but because the clients who need them deserve someone who actually knows how to close them.
When I'm not working, I'm with my family, coaching my kids, and being reminded daily why owning a home in Southern California matters.
