Do you only offer VA loans?

No. I'm a Mortgage Loan Originator with Edge Home Finance, LLC, a mortgage broker, so I can shop a file across many lenders. VA is the majority of what I do, and I also handle FHA, Conventional, USDA and Non-QM.

Do you only service the Dayton and Cincinnati markets?

Dayton and Cincinnati are the majority of my business. I am personally licensed to originate mortgage loans in 34 states, and through the Edge Home Finance, LLC corporate referral program I can help veterans in every state except New York. Edge Home Finance, LLC is licensed in 49 states and the District of Columbia and does not arrange, solicit, or originate mortgage loans for real property located in the State of New York.

Are you looking to get a cannabis mortgage loan in Ohio?

I can help.

The marijuana industry is one of the trickiest areas of home financing.

Marijuana is legal for adult use in Ohio. A federal rule effective April 28, 2026 moved FDA approved marijuana drug products and state licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III, but adult use marijuana is not covered and remains Schedule I.

Sadly, because of this, most banks will turn down anyone working in the marijuana industry.

The great news is it is possible for cannabis industry workers to get approved for a home loan.

Because I am a fully licensed mortgage broker in Ohio with access to 150 lenders, I am able to find mortgage companies that are ok with doing weed related mortgage financing.

State law last reviewed August 27, 2026.

Separate from the income question, and easy to miss: Ohio’s disabled veteran property tax exemption shields $58,000 of your home’s market value from property tax at a total service-connected rating, double the ordinary homestead exemption and not income tested. You file it with your county assessor and it has nothing to do with how you earn your money.
