Electi Financial Solutions
Home financing in Houston

Your home should not have to wait
for a bank to understand you.

We manage your mortgage application from start to finish. With an ITIN, working for yourself or with credit you just finished repairing, there is a program that fits your situation and finding it is our job.

Prequalifying takes three minutes and does not affect your score.

How it works

There are four steps and you talk to us at every one of them. Dealing with the bank is our job.

  1. 01

    Prequalification

    You fill out a three minute form telling us your actual situation. We run no hard credit inquiry and you commit to nothing.

  2. 02

    We pick the program

    We run your profile against all seventeen available programs and tell you which ones fit and how much each one is going to need from you.

  3. 03

    We build the file

    We gather and organize all of your documentation before anything gets submitted. A complete file gets approved faster and with fewer rounds of questions.

  4. 04

    Approval and closing

    The lender issues your approval letter. With that letter in hand you go out and make offers, and we stay with you all the way to signing.

Most used in Houston

There is a program for your situation

We work with seventeen financing programs. Plenty of people think only one exists, which is why they assume they do not qualify.

FHA Loan

The most accessible path to your first home

The FHA loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration and accepts lower credit scores and smaller down payments than any conventional loan. It is how most Hispanic families in Houston buy their first home.

Conventional Loan

The best rate once your credit is healthy

Backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, this loan carries the most competitive rate on the market once your score and income qualify. Its big advantage over FHA is that the mortgage insurance drops off when you reach 20% equity.

ITIN and DACA Loan

Buy a home without a Social Security number

If you file taxes with an ITIN or you hold DACA status, you can buy a home. These loans do not come from the government but from banks that accept your ITIN as valid tax identification.

Down Payment Assistance

Up to 5% of the price with nothing to pay back

Texas runs several programs that cover your down payment and part of your closing costs. Some work as grants that you never repay. They can be combined with an FHA, conventional, VA or USDA loan.

Bank Statement Loan

Qualify on what comes into your account

When you work for yourself, your tax returns show far less than you actually earn because deductions bring the number down. This program looks at your account deposits instead of your tax returns.

VA Loan

Zero down for those who served

Guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, this is the best loan available if you qualify. It asks for no down payment, charges no monthly mortgage insurance and carries rates below conventional financing.

Why work with us

Always the same person

We do not pass you around between departments. Whoever helps you through prequalification is the same person who hands you the keys.

Your language, genuinely

We explain what you are signing and why, in Spanish, English or Portuguese. It is not just a matter of handing you a translated form.

We come from credit

If your score is not there yet, we do not turn you away. We repair your credit first and pick the loan back up afterward.

Programs others do not offer

We work with ITIN, DACA, bank statement loans and DSCR. The big banks reject these profiles on sight and we go find the program that actually fits.

What if my credit is not there yet?

That is the most common situation we see and it has a fix. We repair your credit, get it up to the score your program requires and pick the loan back up where we left off. Most of our buyers arrived this way.

Let us see what you qualify for

It takes three minutes, we run no hard credit inquiry and you commit to nothing. We respond within 24 business hours with the programs that fit you.
