Golden Nuggets:

• “Make sure you have a good loan originator, because so many times I've had clients come to me not being able to get qualified in other places. I don't know how they were calculating debt to income ratio, but then we've been able to qualify them just fine.”
• “What most people will say is it doesn't matter what other people think, and it is true, it not only doesn't matter, but it's also none of your business. So don't even give it a second thought. Don't let it enter your brain, right?”
