Creative, strategic financing for homeowners, investors, and self-employed borrowers. Whether traditional or alternative programs, we help you secure the right loan with confidence.
Buying? Start with a clear picture of what you can afford and which program fits — Conventional, FHA, VA, or a flexible Non-QM option if your income doesn't fit a standard box. We'll compare options across lenders and walk you through the next step.
As a broker, Cactus Lending works for you — not for one bank. We structure your scenario and compare it across loan programs to find the right fit for your goals and timeline.
Why work with a broker
A direct lender can only offer its own products. A mortgage broker like Cactus Lending compares lenders and programs for your scenario — so the loan is built around you, not around a single bank's guidelines.
What that usually means
The broker approach
Options and eligibility vary by borrower and lender guidelines. We'll explain what fits your situation — no guarantees, just a clear comparison.
Buying your first home or your next one? We help you understand down payment, monthly payment, and which program — Conventional, FHA, or VA — makes sense for your budget. Self-employed? Stated Income / Non-QM programs are built for borrowers whose real income is stronger than a standard application shows.
From first-time homebuyers to experienced investors, we structure financing for investment goals and timelines, including flexible and asset-based options when traditional financing doesn't fit.
Already own a home? Refinance to change your term or adjust your monthly payment, or tap your equity with a HELOC — a revolving line of credit for renovations, major expenses, or other goals, while keeping your existing mortgage in place.
Loan programs
We offer a diverse range of loan programs for homebuyers, homeowners, and real estate investors. Whether you qualify for traditional financing or need flexible Non-QM or asset-based solutions, we work closely with you to structure a loan that aligns with your goals and timeline.
The standard home loan for borrowers with stable income and good credit. A versatile choice for a primary home, second home, or investment property, with a range of down payment and term options to discuss.
Government-backed options for buyers who need a lower down payment or earned a military benefit. FHA is often considered by first-time buyers and borrowers building credit, with more flexible guidelines. VA is for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses — ask us to check your eligibility.
For self-employed borrowers, business owners, and investors whose tax returns don't reflect their full income. Qualification can be based on alternative documentation — we'll explain what's needed.
Asset-based, short-term financing where the property and the plan matter most. Often used when timing is tight or a scenario doesn't fit traditional lender guidelines.
Replace your current mortgage with a new one — change your term or adjust your monthly payment with a rate-and-term refinance, or choose the cash-out option: borrow more than you currently owe and take the difference as cash for renovations, paying off other debts, or other goals. We'll run the numbers both ways so you can see whether a refinance actually helps.
Home Equity Line of Credit — a revolving line of credit secured by the equity you've built in your home. Draw what you need, when you need it, for renovations, major expenses, or other goals, while keeping your existing mortgage in place. We'll compare HELOC options across lenders and explain draw and repayment terms, and how a variable rate works.
That's normal — and it's exactly what a broker is for. Tell us your scenario and we'll point you to the right starting point.
How it works
From your initial consultation to closing day, we guide you through every step with transparency and a strategy tailored to your goals.
We start with a conversation — your goals, timeline, income picture, and the property you have in mind. No two financial situations are the same, so we listen first.
As your broker, we compare lenders and programs that fit your profile and explain the trade-offs in plain language — payment, down payment, and terms.
We help you submit a complete, organized application and stay in communication while documents are reviewed, so there are fewer surprises along the way.
We coordinate through final approval and closing, walk through the final numbers with you, and make sure you know exactly what you're signing.

Common questions
A bank or direct lender offers only its own loan products. A broker like Cactus Lending works with many lenders, compares programs for your scenario, and helps you choose the fit — with one point of contact guiding you from consultation to closing.
Often, yes — but the path may look different. In addition to traditional programs, Stated Income / Non-QM loans are designed for self-employed and business-owner borrowers whose tax returns don't show their full income. Tell us how your income works and we'll explain which documentation route fits.
It depends on your down payment, credit, income type, property, and whether you're buying, refinancing, or tapping equity. Conventional, FHA, and VA cover many traditional scenarios; Non-QM and hard money cover flexible or time-sensitive ones; a HELOC lets homeowners borrow against built-up equity while keeping their current mortgage.
