FAQ — Merritt Island FL Mortgage

Can NASA or SpaceX contractors qualify for a mortgage without W-2 income?

Yes. Many NASA and SpaceX contractors work as 1099 or self-employed professionals and face challenges qualifying through conventional underwriting. Bank statement loans are designed for this situation — Lena underwrites based on 12-24 months of personal or business bank deposits rather than tax returns. This allows contractors with strong cash flow but complex tax filings to qualify for purchase or refinance financing.

Are jumbo loans available for waterfront properties on Merritt Island?

Yes. Merritt Island waterfront homes — particularly along the Indian River and Banana River — frequently exceed conventional loan limits. Jumbo loans fund purchases above the conforming limit (currently $806,500 for most Florida counties). Lena works with multiple jumbo lenders and can structure these transactions with competitive rates. Strong credit, reserves, and documentation are key factors in jumbo approval.

How do VA loans work for aerospace workers who are also veterans in Merritt Island?

Veterans employed in the Brevard County aerospace sector can combine their military service benefit with local market expertise. VA loans offer zero down payment, no PMI, and competitive interest rates. Lena processes VA loans with full knowledge of the Certificate of Eligibility requirements, funding fee exemptions for disabled veterans, and multi-use eligibility for buyers who have used VA benefits before.
