FAQ
The best mortgage lender in Virginia depends on your financial goals, credit profile, and the type of loan you need. A strong lender should offer competitive rates, fast approvals, and local expertise in Virginia housing programs. Working with a lender familiar with Virginia-specific guidelines can help streamline the process and secure better loan terms.
To choose the best mortgage lender in Virginia, compare interest rates, loan options, closing timelines, and customer reviews. It’s also important to work with a lender who understands Virginia’s real estate market and can guide you through local programs and requirements.
Mortgage rates in Virginia change daily based on market conditions, inflation, and your financial profile. Factors like credit score, loan type, and down payment will impact your rate. You can check current mortgage rates in Virginia to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Yes, Virginia offers several first-time homebuyer programs, including down payment assistance and reduced interest rate options. These programs can make it easier to qualify and reduce upfront costs when buying a home in Virginia.
Credit score requirements vary by loan program — conventional loans typically start around 620, while FHA loans can go as low as 580, and VA loans often have more flexibility. Powerhouse Mortgages works with borrowers across a range of credit profiles to find the program that fits your situation.
Our NoTouch Credit system lets you see your loan options and buying power through a soft credit pull, which doesn’t trigger a hard inquiry or affect your credit score. It’s a safe, private way to understand where you stand before you’re ready to formally apply.
Yes. Self-employed borrowers and business owners often face extra hurdles with traditional lenders due to write-offs and adjusted gross income, but bank-statement loan programs allow qualification based on actual cash flow rather than tax-return income alone.
A bank statement loan uses 12–24 months of personal or business bank statements to verify income instead of W-2s or tax returns. It’s designed for self-employed borrowers, business owners, and 1099 contractors whose tax returns don’t fully reflect their real earning power.
Closing timelines typically range from 3–5 weeks depending on the loan program, appraisal scheduling, and how quickly documentation is provided, though some purchases can close in under four weeks with a responsive borrower and a straightforward file.
Lower.com originates loans through PowerTPO in the wholesale channel. As an independent broker, Duane Buziak has direct access to PowerTPO’s underwriting team and pricing — giving borrowers a way to work with the same execution without going through Lower.com’s retail structure.

Duane went above and beyond throughout my mortgage refinance. I shopped around multiple times, and every single time he was able to offer a better deal than the others. He saved my family a significant amount on our monthly payment, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommend working with him.Posted on Google![]()
Taylor BloomfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Duane truly is the mortgage maestro! He got us an AMAZING interest rate, one that other brokers told me was nearly impossible. He helped us cut out unnecessary costs, offering his expertise every step of the way. Im not sure if Duane ever sleeps, based off of how quickly he responds at all times of the day, I would guess he does not. As he once told my husband and I, he lives and breathes mortgages. We closed on our home in just under 4 weeks! FOUR! Tell your family and friends, Duane is your guy.Posted on Google![]()

Duane provided excellent service from start to finish. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process. His professionalism and attention to detail made everything smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, he was able to find a great mortgage deal that fit my needs perfectly. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated loan officer.Posted on Google![]()
Lacey ConnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Duane is the lender you want when the stakes are high. This was my second home purchase with him, and it truly was a once-in-a-lifetime deal layered with stress, timelines, and the anxiety that comes with building. Duane was steady, patient, and incredibly thorough. He communicated constantly, anticipated issues before they became problems, and made me feel supported and confident through every decision. His guidance turned a stressful process into a successful closing I’m deeply grateful for. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.Posted on Google![]()

Look no further!!! You will be so happy that you found Duane!! My husband is a small business owner and wasn't able to qualify for a traditional loan due to itemizing business expenses and his adjusted gross income. I was researching for bank statement loans in Virginia and was lucky enough to have found Duane!! He has been a miracle worker since day 1. I reached out to him and explained the situation. He told me that if he couldn't get my husband approved than no one can! He's very knowledgeable and keeps you in the loop about everything. He never sleeps, he's up all day and night working! Not only did he get the approval but at a very good interest rate!! Duane will forever be my friend and go to for any real estate loans!! Don't think twice about it, just make the call and thank me later!!!Posted on Google![]()
