At Call The Mortgage Guy, we help borrowers navigate non-QM, refinance, and custom loan solutions by starting where most lenders don’t: proper underwriting and compliant structure.
Whether you’re self-employed, carrying unconventional income, or stuck in an unfavorable loan, we focus on building terms that actually work — not just pushing applications.


We currently serve clients across the following states:
Florida
Texas
Colorado
South Carolina
Call The Mortgage Guy was built to solve a frustrating problem — too many qualified borrowers are denied simply because they don’t fit into a traditional lending box.
Banks rely on rigid guidelines. We don’t.
We work with a wide network of lenders to provide flexible financing solutions tailored to each borrower’s unique situation. Whether you're self-employed, investing in real estate, or navigating complex income structures, we help you find a path forward.
Our approach is simple:
Understand your situation
Structure the deal correctly
Match you with the right lending solution
Because getting a mortgage shouldn’t feel impossible.
DSCR Loans for real estate investors
Non-QM Loans for self-employed borrowers

Dan Deppen brings deep expertise in underwriting and loan structuring, with a focus on helping borrowers navigate non-traditional lending scenarios.
Through his work with Call The Underwriter, Dan has helped countless borrowers understand not just whether they qualify — but why they qualify, and how to position their application for approval.
Dan specializes in the following:
Complex Loan Scenarios
Non-QM Underwriting
Guideline Interpretation
Structuring Deals for Approval

Most lenders are trained to look for reasons to say no.
We’re built to look deeper.
At Call The Mortgage Guy, we specialize in refinance and non-QM solutions for borrowers with complex income, unconventional circumstances, or loans that no longer serve them. Our approach starts with underwriting and structure — not just rate sheets or automated approvals.
You don’t need perfect credit, clean W-2s, or a bank-approved story to get clarity.
We’ll review your situation, identify where the friction is, and determine whether a better structure exists — before you commit to anything.

Steve specializes in helping:
Real Estate Investors
Sefl-Employed Professionals
Business Owners with Complex Income
Being approved only at unfavorable rates or terms
Income that looks strong in real life but weak on paper
Repeated denials with no clear explanation
A loan structure that worked once — but no longer does
