Since 2001 Lynda Bernal has helped hundreds of people with their home loans. In every transaction her goal is to provide each client with the attention, service, and respect they deserve while delivering the loan they want, when they want it.
Lynda knows that home buyers and homeowners are busy taking care of the many other details of their lives so she strives to make the mortgage process as easy and stress-free as possible. She does this by carefully listening to the client’s needs, researching loan guidelines, and then discussing all available loan options so that every client can make the best possible loan choice for his or her unique situation. As Lynda frequently says, “mortgages are NOT one-size-fits-all” and so she places the utmost importance on making sure that her clients get a home loan that works for them not only today but for the future as well.
Licensed in California and Arizona, Lynda assists all types of home buyers – from a first-time buyer purchasing a condo or starter home to someone purchasing a vacation getaway to an investor purchasing an income property. And over the years she has successfully navigated many quirky, complicated, difficult buyer situations and gotten loans for her clients that other lenders could not.

I'm here to answer all
your mortgage questions
-
Do I need to save for a 20% down payment?
No! With FHA loans you can get approved for as little as 3.5% down, VA and USDA loans can offer you $0-down options, and with Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) you can get into your new home with less than a 20% down payment. Whatever your situation, you have options.
-
Are Pre-Qualification and Pre-Approval the same thing?
No. Pre-qualification and pre-approval are two different things. Pre-qualification means that a mortgage lender has reviewed your financial records and believes you will qualify for a loan. A pre-approval is a conditional committment from a lender that they will lend you the money for a mortgage.
-
What's the difference between an adjustable and a fixed rate mortgage?
A fixed rate mortgage means that the interest rate is set when you take out the loan and will not change. With an adjustable rate mortgage, the interest rate may go up or down after a certain amount of time. Many adjustable rate mortgages will start at a lower interest rate than fixed rate mortgages.
-
What is Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)?
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is a type of insurance you may be required to pay if you are taking out a conventional mortgage with a downpayment that is less than 20% of the home's overall value. If you refinance your home with a conventional loan and your equity is less than 20% of the home's value, you may also be required to pay PMI. Private Mortgage Insurance protects the lender in the event that you stop making payments on your loan.
-
Can I access my home equity before I finish paying off my loan?
Yes! Your mortgage advisor can help you find the right refinance and reverse mortgage options to help you access your home equity before you've finished paying off your loan. This can help with covering the cost of remodels, college tuition, long-term care plans, and more! Talk to your mortgage advisor to find out how you can access your home equity to cover any of your life's needs.
-
What do I do if I can't afford my mortgage payment anymore?
The first thing you should do in the event that you can't afford your mortgage payements anymore is reach out to your lender. An experienced mortgage advisor can help you find options, such as refinancing or restructuring your loan, to help you keep up with your payments. Always reach out to your lender to ensure that you can keep up with your payments and stay in your home.
