Self employed for three years and most lenders treated my tax returns like a puzzle they didn't want to solve. Temitayo at Oxford took the time to work through our financials. FHA loan approved, bought in Saco, and the payment fits comfortably. Temitayo didn't take the easy way out by saying no.

Freelance income made the approval process tricky with other lenders. Will at Oxford understood how to document it properly for the FHA program. 3.5% down on our Westbrook home and the monthly cost works even in slower months. Will solved what other lenders said couldn't be solved.

Honestly thought we'd get denied. Our situation isn't textbook perfect. Ricardo at Oxford looked at everything and said the FHA program could work. And it did. Bought in Scarborough, closed on time, and the payment fits our budget. Ricardo turned doubt into a set of house keys.

I kept expecting something to go wrong during the process. Shawn at Oxford kept it moving smoothly on our Brunswick FHA purchase. Every milestone hit on schedule, every question answered promptly. 3.5% down, good rate, and a closing that was actually pleasant. What I'd been dreading turned out to be one of the best experiences of the year.

I was nervous about every step of buying our Biddeford home. James at Oxford was patient with all of it. Explained the FHA guidelines, walked me through each document, and never once made me feel like I was asking too many questions. 3.5% down and we made it to closing. Still can't believe it.

Three kids in a two bedroom apartment. We needed space yesterday. Hahna at Oxford fast tracked our FHA purchase in Auburn. 3.5% down, reasonable rate, and the kids finally have room to breathe. Hahna treated our situation with the urgency it deserved.

Just got married and buying our first home together felt like the natural next step. Craig at Oxford helped us navigate the FHA program in South Portland. Low down payment, clear communication, and a closing day that went perfectly. Our first home as a couple. Couldn't be happier with the experience.

Baby on the way and we needed more space fast. Corey at Oxford made the FHA process in Bangor feel urgent but not stressful. 3.5% down, competitive rate, and we closed before the due date. Nursery is set up and the mortgage works on our budget. Corey understood the timeline and delivered.

Paying $1,600 a month in Lewiston rent and watching it climb annually. Carlton at Oxford got us into a mortgage for about the same amount through the FHA program. Except now the payment is fixed. And the home is ours. And we put down 3.5% instead of saving for years. Should have called sooner.

Every dollar of rent was gone forever. Abigail at Oxford helped us redirect that money into something we actually own. FHA loan, 3.5% down in Portland, and our monthly payment is surprisingly close to what rent was. Except now we're building equity. Huge difference.

FAQ

Get Your Mortgage Answers
Talk with a Mortgage Expert
How do I know what type of mortgage is best for me?

The best mortgage depends on your financial goals, budget, and future plans. First-time buyers often compare FHA or conventional loans, while veterans may qualify for VA mortgage programs. A trusted lender will guide you through options, showing which mortgage fits your income, credit, and long-term goals.

Should I wait for mortgage rates to drop before applying?

Waiting for lower mortgage rates can feel tempting, but timing the market is unpredictable. A smart approach is to apply when a mortgage fits your budget and goals today. You can always refinance later if rates improve, ensuring you do not miss opportunities to move forward.

Can I use a mortgage to consolidate debt or free up monthly cash flow?

Yes. A mortgage refinance or cash-out option can help consolidate high-interest debt and lower overall payments. By using your home’s equity, the right mortgage strategy may free up monthly cash flow, reduce financial stress, and create more room in your budget for future goals.

What does a mortgage pre-approval actually mean?

A mortgage pre-approval is a lender’s review of your income, credit, and debts to estimate how much you can borrow. It shows sellers you are a serious buyer and gives you a clear budget range. Pre-approval strengthens your position and makes the mortgage process smoother from the start.

How much mortgage can I realistically afford each month?

The amount of mortgage you can afford depends on your income, debts, credit, and lifestyle goals. Lenders often suggest keeping your mortgage payment within 28 to 31 percent of monthly income. Using a mortgage calculator helps estimate payments and gives a clearer picture of what fits your budget.

Can I switch mortgage lenders mid-process if I feel unsupported?

Yes. You can switch mortgage lenders during the process if you feel communication or support is lacking. While it may cause delays, a better mortgage experience can save stress and money long term. Always review fees and timelines before moving your application to a new mortgage lender.

Is it possible to get a mortgage if I am self-employed or have variable income?

Yes! You can qualify for a mortgage if you are self-employed or earn variable income, but lenders may require extra documentation. Bank statements, tax returns, and proof of steady cash flow help show stability. With the right mortgage program, self-employed borrowers can secure financing confidently.

Still have a question?
No problem. Let’s just talk.
