Nations Lending and the FPA of Minnesota
Nations Lending has focused on the unique needs of Financial Planners when it comes to their clients home financing needs and giving those planners the information they need to help make a decision that enhances their clients financial strength when either buying or refinancing a home for themselves or their family members. We look to the planner for guidance on options for downpayment and interest rate that best suit your goals for your clients asset management and cash flow and retirement savings.
Learn MoreWhat you
can expect:
• As a 50 state independent mortgage lender Nations Lending works directly with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, USDA and the VA with no middleman so fewer delays in decision making and no conservative overlays in guidelines to restrict your client’s options
• Nations Lending typically services our own clients after the loan has closed so your clients less likely to deal with the stress and confusion of their mortgage being bought and sold multiple times and wondering where to send their payments
• Nations Lending has access to a large menu of non-traditional mortgage programs to suit non-traditional clients -- asset based lending, self-employed borrowers, reverse mortgages, bank statement/cash flow income calculations, jumbo and super jumbo lending options as well as down payment assistance programs your client’s children can tap instead of “gifted” funds that deplete your client’s assets
• Seamless and secure digital mortgage application process to minimize need for underwriting to paper bank statements, tax returns and paystubs
• Secure document uploading and messaging
