LendFriend Mortgage, we believe homeownership should be possible for everyone—whether you’re a W-2 employee, a business owner, or a veteran. As a licensed mortgage broker, we shop a wide network of lenders to deliver competitive rates, flexible options, and expert guidance tailored to your situation. We specialize in Non-QM loans, including bank statement mortgages designed for self-employed borrowers and entrepreneurs whose tax returns don’t reflect their true earning power. These programs allow business owners to qualify using their cash flow—not traditional W-2s. For military families, we proudly offer VA loans and VA IRRRLs (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans), helping veterans lower payments quickly and with minimal paperwork. Founded by brothers Eric and Michael Bernstein, LendFriend is built on a simple promise: service first, low rates always. With hundreds of verified five-star reviews, our clients know us for clear communication, personal attention, and results that make buying or refinancing a home easier. From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, from crypto-backed asset programs to jumbo financing, our goal is simple: remove the stress from the mortgage process and help you move forward with confidence.

Two great experiences with LendFriend
I’ve bought two homes and refinanced once, and nothing prepared me for how painless LendFriend made it. Eric is the kind of mortgage broker who texts you back at 9pm and somehow still gets you the lowest mortgage rate you’ve ever seen. I brought him a genuinely complicated file and he treated it like a puzzle he actually wanted to solve. If you’re searching for a home loan and you’re tired of feeling like a number at a big bank, LendFriend is for you. Fair warning though: after working with Eric, every other lender will feel like a step down.
