Buying or refinancing in Houston? I am Neal Pyles, a Senior Loan Officer with Lone Star Financing serving Harris County and all of Texas. The largest city in Texas with everything from urban high rises to suburban masterplans. You get wholesale rates from 25+ lenders and plain talk the whole way.
Low down payment options for primary homes in Houston with competitive Harris County pricing.
Flexible credit and 3.5% down. Strong fit for first time Houston buyers.
Zero down for eligible Texas veterans and active duty buyers in Houston.
Higher balance financing for luxury and new construction Houston homes.
Lower your rate, pull cash out, or drop mortgage insurance in Houston.
Qualify on rental income, not tax returns, for Houston investment property.
I know Harris County values, appraisers, and what it takes to win a Houston contract.
You text or call me, not a 1-800 queue. Updates at every step.
Wholesale rates that often beat the bank down the street in Houston.
As little as 0% with VA, 3.5% with FHA, and 3% to 5% with conventional. The right answer for Houston depends on your credit, price point, and goals. A quick call sorts it out.
FHA can go to 580 and sometimes lower. Conventional usually starts around 620. With 25+ lenders I can place Houston scenarios other shops turn away.
Many Harris County purchases close in 18 to 25 days when documents come in quickly. Refinances vary. I set a realistic timeline up front.
Apply in minutes or grab 15 minutes on my calendar. No pressure, just answers.
