    Why Borrowers Choose Don Bethune

    Most loan officers work for one lender and offer one rate sheet. I work as an independent mortgage broker, which means I shop your loan across 100s of wholesale lenders to find the best rate and program for your exact situation. More options. Better pricing. And someone in your corner who has been closing deals for over 35 years.

    Access to 100s of Lenders

    I am not limited to one rate sheet. I shop your loan across the wholesale market to find the most competitive rate and the right program for your needs.

    Same-Day Approvals

    Xpert Home Lending is a UWM Top 10 national partner. That relationship means faster underwriting, same-day approvals, and a closing timeline that keeps your transaction on track.

    35+ Year Track Record

    I have spent my career structuring deals, solving problems, and communicating clearly so nothing surprises you at the closing table.

    Local Knowledge, Statewide Reach

    Based in Cumming, Georgia with deep roots in the North Atlanta market. Licensed to serve borrowers across Georgia.

    Loan Programs for Every Situation

    From first purchase to investment portfolio, I have the right program for where you are going.

    Conventional Loans

    Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs with competitive rates for qualified borrowers.

    FHA Loans

    Low down payment options for first-time buyers and those rebuilding credit.

    Jumbo Loans

    Financing above conventional loan limits for higher-priced properties.

    Non-QM Loans

    Bank statement, asset-based, and flexible qualification programs for self-employed borrowers.

    DSCR Investor Loans

    Qualify based on rental income, not your personal tax returns. Built for real estate investors.

    HELOC and Home Equity

    Tap into your existing equity for renovations, investments, or financial flexibility.

    First-Time Homebuyers

    Buying Your First Home Should Feel Exciting.
    Not Overwhelming.

    I work with a lot of first-time buyers and I know the process can feel intimidating. My job is to make it simple. We will start with a quick pre-approval to understand your buying power, walk through all your options including down payment assistance programs, and stay in constant communication so you always know where you stand.

    You will never feel like a number. You will always know what is happening and why.

    1

    Free Pre-Approval

    Find out exactly how much home you can afford before you start shopping. No cost, no obligation.

    2

    Program Matching

    We compare FHA, conventional, and down payment assistance options to find the best fit for your income, credit, and goals.

    3

    Clear Communication

    From application to closing, I keep you informed at every step so nothing surprises you.

    Real Estate Investors

    Build Your Portfolio Faster With the Right Financing.

    DSCR loans, or Debt Service Coverage Ratio, let you qualify based on the rental income the property generates, not your personal tax returns or W-2s. That means no income verification headaches, no waiting on tax transcripts, and a much faster path to closing on your next investment property.

    Whether you are buying your first rental or your fifteenth, I can structure financing that fits your investment strategy.

    No W-2 Required

    Qualify on rental income only. No personal income documentation needed.

    1 to 4 Units or More

    Single family rentals, small multifamily, and short-term rental properties.

    Fast Closings

    Streamlined process designed specifically for investors who need to move quickly.

    Already Own Property? Put Your Equity to Work.

    A HELOC gives you access to your existing home equity as a flexible line of credit. Use it to fund your next down payment, renovate a rental, or cover business expenses, without touching your primary mortgage.

    About Don

    35+ Years of Client Satisfaction. A Career Built on Trust.

    I've spent my career at the intersection of lending, deal-structuring, relationship-building, problem-solving, and helping people make some of the most important financial decisions of their lives.

    My background includes running an independent mortgage branch, where I developed a deep understanding of the lending process from the inside out. Prior to that, I spent years helping community banks across America provide receivables lending solutions to their commercial customers. I understand business, I understand numbers, and I understand what it means to have someone in your corner who actually picks up the phone.

    I joined Xpert Home Lending because of their partnerships with 100s of America's top lenders, their reputation as a UWM Top 10 national broker partner, their competitive rate access, and a team culture that ALWAYS puts clients first.
