Chris Solinski and Sue Beidoun were absolutely fantastic to work with. They not only made the mortgage process smooth and easy to navigate, but they also secured us a rate that beat a credit union by over half a percentage point... which made a huge difference for our family! Communication was clear, timely, and proactive. We always knew what was coming next and felt fully supported throughout the process. Sue kept everything organized behind the scenes, and Chris provided great insight and guidance at every step.

Meet our ExpertsI had an amazing experience working with Kristina House during the process of getting my house. She made everything simple, clear, and stress-free from start to finish. Kristina was always responsive, professional, and patient, taking the time to explain every step and answer all my questions. Her knowledge and dedication really stood out. I always felt supported and confident that she had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Lit Financial to anyone looking to buy a home — you’ll be in great hands! Read more →
Working with Lit Financial was great! The communication from the Loan Officer, Jay Saad was also great! Jay was always available when myself (buyers agent) or the buyer needed help or questions answered. Jay made himself fully available during the entire escrow. Some nights the calls were past 9pm, but Jay would always answer or send an immediate text letting me know he'd be calling right back. Jay was diligent with his work and always professional when it came to explaining things to myself and my first-time buyer. I would highly recommend working with Jay Saad. Read more →
I wanted to express my gratitude for the exceptional experience I have had working with Lit Financial as a whole and wanted to particularly shout out Sue Beidoun! Her positivity and vibrant personality have truly made all the difference in the loan process, especially from an underwriting perspective! While the majority of my partner's at Lit Financials' attention to detail and commitment to excellence have greatly facilitated our work, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. I would love to emphasize Sue's proactive approach and enthusiasm not only making the process more enjoyable but also significantly contribute to our mutual success.… Read more →
We were moving 1800 miles across country and worked with Chad Pounders at Lit Financial to broker our mortgage. As difficult as remote home buying can be, the financing was the least stressful by a wide margin and I credit that to Chad and his team at Lit. Communication was always quick and Chad showed a ton of patience as we worked through inventory with our realtor. Chad is knowledgeable and was open and honest about our options as we moved through the process. I highly recommend reaching out to Chad and his team at Lit if you are in… Read more →

Frequently Asked Questions
Let's help make things clearer.
It depends on your income, debts, credit, and down payment. A quick pre-approval can tell you your price range.
Your payment includes the loan, taxes, insurance, and possibly PMI or HOA fees. Your lender can show you an exact breakdown.
Many loans start around 580–620, but higher scores help you qualify more easily and get a better rate.
Some loans allow 3%–5% down, FHA allows 3.5%, and VA/USDA can be 0%. Putting 20% down helps you avoid PMI.
Each loan has different rules. FHA is flexible with credit, Conventional rewards strong credit, VA is for veterans, USDA is for rural areas, and Jumbo is for bigger loans.
Rates change daily and depend on your credit, loan type, and down payment. Your lender can give you a personalized quote.
Pre-approval is fast. A full mortgage usually takes about 30 days from start to finish.
Typically pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns (if needed), bank statements, and your ID.
Usually 2%–5% of the loan amount. Some can be rolled into the loan or covered by seller credits.
PMI is insurance for the lender when you put down less than 20%. You can remove it once you reach 20% equity.
An appraiser checks your home’s value. If it comes in low, you may need to renegotiate or adjust your loan.
You can refinance whenever you qualify, though some loan types require a short waiting period (often 6 months).
Big purchases or new debt can hurt your approval. It’s best not to open new accounts until after closing.
Yes—family can help with your down payment. You just need a simple gift letter.
It depends on your credit, income, location, and down payment. Your lender can match you to the best options.
You can “lock” your rate to protect it. Lock periods usually last 30–60 days.
FHA and VA usually require it. Conventional loans often give you a choice if you put enough down.
Pre-qualification is a quick estimate. Pre-approval is verified and much stronger when making an offer.
Lenders look at stable, consistent income. They may count overtime, bonuses, or self-employed income with proper documentation.
Yes, with enough credit, income, and savings. Down payments are usually higher than for primary homes.
For homeowners 62+, it lets you tap your home equity without monthly payments. The loan is repaid later when you move or sell.
Mortgage interest may be tax-deductible. Equity loan rules vary, so it’s smart to check with a tax professional.
You save interest, and most loans have no penalty. Even small extra payments help.
Fixed rates stay the same. Adjustable rates start lower but can change. It depends on how long you plan to stay in the home.
Common delays include missing documents, appraisal issues, slow title work, or big credit changes. Staying organized helps keep things on track.
