Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms as our services, programs, or regulatory obligations change; the version posted here is the current one, and continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Who we are and what we do
We are a brokerage, not a lender: we place your file with wholesale investors rather than funding it ourselves. Residential lending is limited to Florida and Colorado, with business-purpose products available in additional states only where the law and our licensing permit. The complete licensing statement appears at the bottom of this page, and our company record is public through NMLS Consumer Access under NMLS# 2620881.
Educational content, not advice
Everything published here — guides, program explanations, comparisons, glossary entries, and market context — is general education. It does not account for your individual circumstances and is not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Program rules described on this site are our plain-language summaries of agency and lender requirements; the governing requirement is always the current rule published by the applicable agency or applied by the lender underwriting your file. For tax questions, consult a qualified tax professional; for legal questions, an attorney.
No offer, approval, or commitment to lend
Nothing on this site is an offer to lend, a rate lock, a pre-approval, an approval, or a commitment to lend. Any rate, payment, fee, or savings figure shown anywhere on the site is illustrative and is not a quote, lock, offer, or commitment to lend; binding figures appear on your Loan Estimate. Eligibility, terms, conditions, and availability vary by borrower, property, lender, loan program, and state, and all loans are subject to lender underwriting and approval.
Calculators, estimates, and data
Our calculators return estimates based on the inputs you provide and the assumptions disclosed on each tool. They may omit costs that apply to your transaction, such as association dues, flood insurance, specialty endorsements, or local transfer taxes. Data points sourced from government and industry publishers are shown with their source and, where relevant, an as-of date; those sources publish on their own schedules and may revise figures after we retrieve them. Our sourcing and review practices are described on our Data Sources and Methodology page.
Live pricing, Ask Sam AI, and interactive tools
Live rate cards and the pricing tool show example wholesale pricing for the scenario shown or entered, at the time displayed. Pricing changes throughout the day, is not locked, and is not an offer. Ask Sam AI is an automated assistant that gives general educational answers; it can make mistakes, is not a loan officer, cannot approve, lock, or quote a loan, and should not be given Social Security numbers, account numbers, or passwords. Confirm anything important with a Simply Approved Mortgages Loan Officer and your Loan Estimate.
Third-party links
We link to government agencies and other outside resources because verifiable sources matter. We do not control those sites, do not endorse their commercial content, and are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, or privacy practices. Simply Approved Mortgages LLC is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of HUD, FHA, VA, USDA, FHFA, the CFPB, or any other government agency.

Cost and payment tools
Run your payment, affordability, closing cost and refinance numbers
Monthly payment, affordability, closing costs, refinance break-even and early payoff, all on one screen. This page is not written for one state, so property tax, insurance and transfer or recording charges start at neutral placeholder assumptions rather than published averages — Transfer, documentary-stamp and recording charges are set by your state and county — enter your own figure, or open the state page for a sourced seed. Insurance and tax assumptions vary widely by state, county and property, so replace these starting values with quotes for your address. Every figure is an illustrative estimate, not a quote, lock, offer, approval, or commitment to lend.

Assumptions, methodology, and limitations
Principal and interest use the standard amortization formula on the loan amount you enter. This page does not target a single state, so the property tax and insurance fields start at neutral placeholder assumptions rather than published averages — replace them with figures for your own address, or open the matching state page for sourced seeds. Closing costs apply your state's transfer / documentary-stamp practice (0.00% of price used as the buyer-side seed) plus typical title, recording, appraisal, credit and prepaid escrow lines. Refinance break-even divides your entered costs by the monthly payment difference. Early payoff runs a month-by-month amortization with your extra principal.
These tools do not include mortgage insurance, funding or guarantee fees, HOA special assessments, flood or windstorm premiums, seller credits, lender credits, discount points, or county and municipal charges specific to your parcel. Statewide averages will not match any individual property. Figures are estimates only.
Illustrative only. Binding figures appear on your Loan Estimate, and terms vary by borrower, property, lender, program, and state.

Broker identification. Simply Approved Mortgages LLC is a mortgage broker and is not a direct lender. We arrange residential mortgage loans with third-party wholesale lenders and do not make the lender's final credit decision or fund the loan. We arrange residential mortgage loans in Florida and Colorado. Business-purpose mortgage products may be arranged in additional states only where permitted by applicable law and pursuant to applicable licensing requirements or exemptions.
Credit and program terms. All loans are subject to lender credit approval, underwriting, acceptable appraisal or valuation when required, title review, insurance, and supporting documentation. Eligibility, programs, rates, APRs, points, lender credits, fees, payments, terms, loan amounts, down-payment requirements, mortgage insurance, and availability may vary based on borrower, property, occupancy, credit profile, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, lender, loan program, and state and may change without notice. Not all applicants, properties, products, or programs will qualify or be available in every state. Nothing on this site constitutes a loan approval, rate lock, offer, commitment to lend, guarantee of approval, or guarantee of terms or closing.
Rates, payments and calculators. Rates, APRs, payments, down payments, loan amounts, home values, estimated equity, savings, affordability estimates, closing costs, and other calculator or scenario results displayed on this site are estimates or illustrations unless expressly stated otherwise. Actual loan terms may differ. Taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, association dues, lender charges, broker compensation, discount points, third-party charges, and other costs may apply. Advertised rates, payments, APRs, down payments, and other credit terms are subject to the assumptions and disclosures presented with the applicable advertisement. Applicable loan terms and disclosures will be provided as required for the particular transaction.
Mortgage products. FHA, VA, USDA, conventional, jumbo, non-QM, HELOC, reverse mortgage, down-payment-assistance, investment-property, DSCR, and other mortgage products referenced on this site are subject to their individual eligibility, underwriting, property, occupancy, and program requirements. Product availability varies by lender and jurisdiction. References to a mortgage product or program do not constitute a determination that a borrower or property qualifies.
Government-backed programs. Government-backed or government-insured mortgage programs referenced on this site may be subject to requirements established by the applicable government agency in addition to lender requirements. Government insurance or guaranties generally protect participating lenders against certain losses and do not constitute a guarantee of borrower approval.
Business-purpose products. DSCR, investment-property, and other business-purpose mortgage products referenced on this site are intended for qualifying business-purpose transactions. Business-purpose loans may be subject to different requirements and protections than consumer-purpose residential mortgage loans. Borrowers are responsible for accurately disclosing property occupancy and intended use.

Down payment or closing-cost assistance programs referenced on this site may be administered by governmental entities, housing finance agencies, nonprofit organizations, lenders, or other third parties. Program availability, funding, assistance amounts, eligibility requirements, repayment or forgiveness provisions, and other terms vary and may change or become unavailable without notice.
