Disclosures
Disclosures, and how the examples work
Everything on this site that looks like a number has a rule behind it. Here are the rules.
How to read the examples
Examples only. Nothing in this section is a quote or an offer.
- Every example is hypothetical. It is not a quote, an advertised offer, any lender's offer, or a customer result.
- The worked examples show income arithmetic, dates, and the order of steps, with every assumption labeled.
- The recently funded loans on the home page are loans Zach closed, shown by city, rounded amount, loan type and month only. Every image with them is an illustration, not the actual property. Past loans are not a promise about yours.
- Your terms, fees and eligibility come from the lender in writing, for your own file, before you commit.
- Keeping your first-mortgage rate never means the new money comes at that rate.
- A lower monthly payment does not establish a lower total cost. Terms differ. Replacing unsecured debt with debt secured by your home changes the risk.
Product facts and their sources
Where a page describes a real product feature, the claim, its conditions, its source, and the date it was checked are listed on that page. Public product descriptions are not the same as a specific offer available through Zach; offers depend on the borrower, the property, the state, and the lender’s current guidelines.
Nothing on this site promises approval, a rate that beats anyone else’s, guaranteed savings, a specific funding time, universal digital processing, no appraisal in every case, or zero closing costs.

No impact on your credit score for the first look. It is a soft credit pull. Texts go to Zach's cell.
