Mortgage financing is confusing! But it doesn’t have to be.
My name is Scott Wynn. I run a branch of Citywide Home Loans along with my wife Marla Wynn and my mom Cindy Howeth. We realize that getting a mortgage can be complicated and confusing. This site and, specifically, this page is intended to give you a go-to resource on mortgages that is simple and straightforward.
Whether you are looking to make a home purchase or considering a refinance we’ve got the information you are looking for.
So let’s dive in…
Who we are and why we think we can help you
My mom, Cindy, was in real estate prior to getting into mortgage in 1996. I joined my mom in 2001 right out of college where I studied Computer Science and Business Management. Marla, my wife, joined us in late 2009 looking for a new challenge after being a Business Development Director for a local non-profit therapeutic preschool. Together we provide a unique and dynamic skill set to provide advice, solutions and a great experience to our customers.

Why are you here?
I am guessing you are here because you are considering either a purchase or a refinance and are in need of a mortgage to make that possible. Purchases and refinances are very different. Even though they may use the same loan programs the rules and requirements can differ significantly. In addition, what is important to you at the time of purchase is likely not the same as when you are looking to refinance.
I have created content for you based on either a purchase or a refinance so you can get the information that you are interested in rather than trying to figure out if it applies to you.
Want to know about the different mortgage options?
There are four main loan programs that exist. Each has their own rules, requirements and quirks. Here are the four major loan programs that exist with links to content created on these programs:
In addition to these main loan programs you may also be interested in some form of down payment assistance. Down payment assistance is an “add-on” to one of these four loan programs and will have additional requirements to be aware of based on the down payment assistance program you select.
