Who pays
The lender pays, or you pay. Never both.

Which loan fits
Three kinds of home loan.
Most Orange County buyers and homeowners are choosing between conventional, FHA and VA. Each has its own page. The lender makes the final decision on every loan.
Conventional
Conventional loans
Not backed by a government agency. They follow guidelines from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They often suit buyers and homeowners with steady income and established credit, including larger loan amounts (often called jumbo loans).
Read about conventional loansFHA
FHA loans
Insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which protects the lender. Buyers often look at FHA when they have a smaller down payment or a shorter credit history. You must live in the home.
Read about FHA loansVA
VA loans
Guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and made by VA-approved lenders, for eligible veterans, service members and some surviving spouses. Many eligible veterans and service members can buy a home without a down payment, depending on their entitlement, the price compared with the appraised value, and the lender's approval. Eligibility starts with a Certificate of Eligibility.

How the three compare.
A plain comparison, with no rates and no numbers. Your lender sets the guidelines that apply to you.
| Loan type | Conventional | FHA | VA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who it often fits | Buyers and homeowners with steady income and established credit, and those who need a larger loan amount. | Buyers who want a government-insured option and plan to live in the home. | Eligible veterans, service members and some surviving spouses. |
| Who backs it | Private investors, under guidelines from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. No government agency insures the loan. | The Federal Housing Administration, part of HUD, insures the loan. The insurance protects the lender, not you. | The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs shares the risk with the lender. |
| Mortgage insurance | Private mortgage insurance may apply when the down payment is smaller. It can often be removed once you have built enough equity. | FHA mortgage insurance applies, with an upfront charge and an ongoing one. It often lasts longer than private mortgage insurance. | No monthly mortgage insurance. A one-time funding fee applies, with some exemptions. |
| Occupancy | A primary home, a second home or a rental property, depending on the lender. | You must live in the home as your primary residence. | The borrower must intend to live in the home as a residence. |
General descriptions only. Every lender sets its own guidelines and decides each loan.
How it works
From inquiry to closing.
Eight steps. Some run side by side, and your lender and the file decide the pace.
Inquiry
You tell us about the home and your plans. Our team reviews your request and contacts you by the phone or email you gave.
Prequalify
We talk through your goals and your finances and look at which loan type may fit. This is a conversation, not an approval.
Documents
You gather the papers a lender asks for. The checklist below lists the usual ones.
Lender match
We work with a range of wholesale lenders and compare options for you. We then tell you which one we suggest and why.
Loan Estimate
When you apply for a specific loan, you receive a Loan Estimate that sets out its costs and terms. It is the standard federal form, so you can lay it beside any other estimate.
Appraisal and underwriting
The home is appraised and the lender's underwriters review the file. They may ask for more documents.
Closing Disclosure
The lender sends the Closing Disclosure, the final statement of the loan and its costs. Check it against your Loan Estimate.
Closing
You sign the loan documents with the title or escrow company, and the purchase or refinance completes.
Documents
What to gather.
Each lender asks for its own list. These are the papers most home loan files need.
Photo identification
A current driver's license or passport for each person on the loan.
Proof of income
Recent pay stubs and W-2 forms. Self-employed borrowers are usually asked for more, such as a profit and loss statement.
Tax returns
Recent federal returns, when the lender asks for them.
Bank and asset statements
Recent statements for the accounts that hold your down payment, closing costs and savings.
Details on the home or your current loan
For a purchase, the signed contract. For a refinance, your latest mortgage statement and proof of homeowners insurance.
Military papers, for a VA loan
A Certificate of Eligibility, or the service records that help us request one.
How we are paid
How a mortgage broker
gets paid.
Where you see it
Read it on the Loan Estimate.
Loan costs, including any fee you pay us, appear on the Loan Estimate. Read it line by line and ask us about anything that is unclear. The Loan Estimate is the quote to compare, not an ad or a number said on the phone.
The limit
Not on the terms of your loan.
Federal rules do not allow a broker's pay to be based on the terms of your loan, other than how much you borrow. That keeps a broker from being paid more for putting you in a costlier loan.
Refinancing
Refinance options.
Already own a home in Orange County? These are the common ways to refinance, in one line each.
Rate-and-term refinance
Replaces your current mortgage with a new one to change its interest rate, its length or both.
Cash-out refinance
Replaces your mortgage with a larger one and gives you the difference in cash, using some of your home equity.
FHA streamline refinance
A simplified refinance for homeowners who already have an FHA loan. The lender sets its own conditions.
VA IRRRL
The VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan, a simplified refinance for homeowners who already have a VA loan. Eligibility rules apply.
Questions
Mortgage broker questions, answered.
What is a mortgage broker?
A mortgage broker is a licensed person or company that helps you find a home loan. The broker does not make the loan. It learns about your goals, compares wholesale lenders that may suit your file, and guides you through the process to closing. NexWin Capital Corp. is a mortgage broker in Costa Mesa, California. It arranges home loans for Orange County buyers and homeowners and does not lend.
What does a mortgage broker do?
A broker gathers your goals and documents, matches the file to a wholesale lender whose guidelines fit, and submits it. It then follows the file through appraisal, underwriting and closing, and answers your questions along the way. The lender approves the loan and completes it. When you apply for a specific loan, you receive a Loan Estimate that sets out its costs and terms.
Should I use a mortgage broker?
It depends on what you want. A broker can take one set of documents to several wholesale lenders, which can help when your situation is unusual or you want to see more than one option. A bank or another company that lends its own money offers only its own loans. Whichever route you choose, ask for a Loan Estimate and compare them side by side.
How does a mortgage broker get paid?
On any one loan, either the lender pays the broker or you pay the broker. It is never both. Federal rules do not allow a broker's pay to depend on the terms of your loan, other than how much you borrow. Loan costs, including any fee you pay, appear on the Loan Estimate. Ask any broker, including us, how it will be paid.
How do I choose a mortgage broker?
Look up the company on NMLS Consumer Access, using its NMLS number, and check its licensing. Ask how the broker is paid and which lenders it works with. Ask who will contact you and what happens to your information. Compare Loan Estimates from more than one source. Be careful with any ad that promises a rate or an approval before anyone has reviewed your file.
Who makes my loan?
A lender makes your loan. NexWin Capital Corp. arranges it. We do not lend, underwrite or approve loans. The lender's underwriters decide, and the loan is made in the lender's name. FHA loans are made by FHA-approved lenders, and VA loans by VA-approved lenders. As a mortgage broker, we work with a range of wholesale lenders and compare options for you. The lender's name is on your Loan Estimate and your loan documents.
Will I know which lender I am working with?
Yes. Once your file is matched, we tell you which lender it is going to and why we suggest it. The lender's name is also on your Loan Estimate.
Who will contact me?
Our team reviews your request and contacts you by the phone or email you gave. If you apply, the lender making the loan will also contact you. Our privacy policy describes how we handle your information.
