"So, If you think buying a house is complicated try not using NFM Lending. I went into this process because I was tired of paying rent. I didn't know if I was qualified. I travel for work and thought that without being available all the time to aquire all the paperwork required I would be disqualified early on in the process. James and NFM were extremely patient and knowledgeable. Bottom line, do yourself a favor and call them. I own an amazing house. Thank you!!!!"
