Educational purpose; not an extension of credit

Refinance Academy is an educational website. It is not a lender, bank, credit union, or mortgage broker. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer or extension of credit, a loan approval, a prequalification, a commitment to lend, or a solicitation of a specific loan product on specific terms. Submitting information through this website is not a loan application. Calculators on this site produce educational estimates from figures you enter; they are not quotes and do not reflect terms available to you.

Licensing

Educational content on this website is authored and reviewed by the following licensed mortgage loan originators:

  • Davis Erhart, NMLS #2586220

You may verify licensing status, employment history, and any regulatory actions for either originator through NMLS Consumer Access (nmlsconsumeraccess.org), the free public registry operated by state financial regulators.

No government affiliation

Refinance Academy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), or any other government agency. References to FHA, VA, and other government loan programs describe those programs; they do not imply endorsement.
