Why It Matters

Washington has no shortage of mortgage lenders.
A local, direct relationship is a different story.

Big banks and call-center lenders hand you off between departments. Turn Two Mortgage is built around a direct relationship: tailored quotes, competitive rates, and service built on integrity, from someone who lives in the community he serves.

Certainty at Closing

Marc shops your rate across multiple lenders, then funds and closes your loan himself. That means your wire is ordered early, your appraisal goes through a local company he can actually direct, and closing day isn't spent waiting on someone else's funding queue.

A Local Team, Not a Call Center

Based in Lake Tapps, WA. You work directly with Marc from application to closing. No hold music, no confusion.

What Washington homebuyers say about Turn Two Mortgage

Washington Mortgage FAQ

Common questions from Washington homebuyers

Should I buy now or wait?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your timeline, savings, and the local market. As your mortgage advisor, Marc can walk through today's rate environment and payment-reduction options (like a temporary buydown) so you can make the decision with real numbers, not guesswork.

Can I qualify with student loans?

Yes. Lenders count your student loan payment as part of your debt-to-income ratio: either your actual reported payment or a calculated percentage of the balance, depending on the loan program. Turn Two Mortgage can walk through how your specific loans factor in.

How much house can I afford making $120K?

Affordability depends on more than income alone. Your down payment, existing debts, and current rates all factor in. Turn Two Mortgage can run the numbers for your specific situation rather than a generic income-based estimate.

What credit score do I need?

Most conventional loans require a minimum 620 credit score, while FHA loans allow scores as low as 580 with 3.5% down. Turn Two Mortgage can review options for borrowers outside those ranges, including Non-QM programs.

Can I buy after bankruptcy?

Often, yes. Typical waiting periods run around 2 years after a Chapter 7 discharge for FHA/VA and longer for conventional financing, though specifics vary by case. Turn Two Mortgage can review your timeline and documentation.

Can I use RSUs as income?

In many cases, yes. Vested RSU income can often be counted with documentation of your vesting history and the likelihood it continues. Non-QM programs like asset depletion can also help borrowers whose income is asset-heavy rather than salary-based.

Can I buy with less than 5% down?

Yes. Conventional loans can go as low as 3% down, FHA requires 3.5%, and VA and USDA loans can offer $0 down for eligible borrowers.

What are closing costs in Washington?

As a general rule of thumb, closing costs typically run about 2% to 5% of the purchase price, though the exact figure depends on your loan program, lender, and title/escrow fees. Turn Two Mortgage can provide a specific estimate for your transaction.

Should I refinance?

It depends on the gap between your current rate and today's rates, your remaining loan term, and how long you plan to stay in the home. Turn Two Mortgage can run a breakeven analysis to see if refinancing actually makes sense for you.

Is FHA worth it?

It depends on your credit and down payment. FHA's lower credit and down payment requirements make it accessible, but it carries mortgage insurance for the life of many loans. For stronger-credit borrowers, conventional financing can sometimes be the better deal. Turn Two Mortgage can compare both side by side.
