In this episode, Broker/Owner Brady Bridges is joined by William Adams from Legacy Mutual Mortgage to walk through the mortgage process. 

William said that Legacy Mutual focuses on residental mortgages, and he especially enjoys working with first time buyers because they need the education and want to be guided.

The three main areas he looks at to qualify people for a loan are their income, assets, and credit - there needs to be stable and documentable income, enough saved for the down payment, and a solid credit history. William said there are plenty of options available for buyers who are self-employed, need down payment assistance, or have credit challenges.

William says there are four main loan types. Most people will have a convential loan if they have solid credit and money for a down payment. Military veterans are eligible for a VA loan with 0% down, and FHA loans don't penalize the buyer based on credit. Jumbo loans are the final main type, which are similar to conventional but have different guidelines because of the higher amount. 

Local lenders like William bring value to their clients by providing education based on the local market and in their relationships with local agents. They can be more responsive because they're right here in the same community as their clients. Although he grew up in Tyler, TX, William says he got to Fort Worth as soon as he could and isn't leaving. He loves that it feels like a large town even though it's a top 15 city in population in the US.
