Hey everyone

Southwest pilot. He understands everything about mil and pilot loans. On my first mortgage through them, I just sent him a copy of our CBA and he translated that to the underwriters. Highly recommended.

The above are probably good options.
Alternatively, look for small banks that have relatively few branches and you can talk to someone who has decision making power. Ask if they offer portfolio loans. This means that the bank actually keeps the loan rather than selling it to someone else. It’s kind of a homebuilt vs certificated loan … they can base decisions on engineering and physics and common sense, and not some arbitrary certification rule. The terms will not be as favorable as a standard 30 year mortgage, but they will be much more flexible.

It is very simple, takes maybe an hour and they send a notary to your house. And it doesn’t change the remaining number of payments. So I still have 9 years years left on my loan, despite lowering the interest rate twice. Obviously they are used to dealing with pilots.
