INTERESTING FACT: I got a new construction loan to build @jewelcrestjoshua with absolutely NO money down (not even closing costs). While being able to take on a project like this does require an incredible about of privilege (good credit, having a decent proof of income, being able to spend countless hours navigating the system, cash reserves for permits, etc), I would have never realized that something like this could be done without a 5 or 6 figure downpayment.

In today’s episode, we demystify how to secure a mortgage even if you don’t have excellent credit or 20% down. In today’s episode, we chat with Matthew Garland (@mgthemortgageguy), licensed mortgage broker and Division Manager at United Northern Mortgage Bankers on all things home loans. Be sure to tune in!
