Tony Walden’s Summary

Over 20 years of experience in mortgage lending with 8 years as an owner and operations manager. Expert in residential lending for both conventional and FHA. I work with realtor's, builder's and financial planner's to provide home financing options for their clients.

My philosophy is to educate the buyer so they can best select the loan that is appropriate for them. I do not sell my borrower's the latest and greatest mortgage craze which is usually too good to be true.

I like to work with people who are thinking about purchasing or refinancing a home very early in the process so that I have time to review their credit, income and debts so that they can be approved when they are ready. Repairing and correcting credit reports is necessary for a large percentage of people. Many times their credit is being reported incorrectly and it is not very difficult to fix.

Tony Walden’s Specialties:

FHA and conventional lending, streamline k loans, $100 down payment for purchasing HUD homes, credit, finance, refinancing

Tony Walden’s Experience

Assistant Vice President - Mortgage

First Ohio Home Finance

Division Manager

United First Financial

(Financial Services industry)

January 2008 — Present (1 year)

I am an Independent Software Agent for United First Financial. UFF's Money Merge Account helps people to pay off their mortgage in as little as 1/3 to 1/2 the time. My goal is to help the American people regain the goal of the American Dream - home ownership. It is a fact that less than 5% of the American public will ever pay their mortgage off and truly OWN their home.

With the Money Merge Account, it is not only possible, but probable. Homeowners will pay off their mortgage and save tens of thousands of dollars of interest doing so. Add to that the savings from the years of not maing additional mortgage payments and the savings are substantial.

The beauty of this program is that is will not change their lifestyle or cash flow! When qualified the mortgage analysis results
will be fully MONEY-BACK GUARANTEED in writing.
