DAK Mortgage – Florida and California Mortgage Broker
If you’ve had your mortgage application denied, you’re not alone.
Many borrowers need non-traditional mortgage loans called non-QM loans.
Non-QM lenders are willing to take on more risk than traditional lenders.
You may have a low credit score or a high debt-to-income ratio, or the property itself may be risky (e.g., nonwarrantable condo, large acreage property, short-term rental property).
Applying to a creative, non-QM lender that employs common sense underwriting might just be your optimal route to approval.

What do the best non-conforming mortgage lenders have in common? Creativity and flexibility. Understanding that not every borrower fits the traditional mold, non-QM lenders offer a full spectrum of loan programs for even the trickiest of situations.
Here we highlight three of the most classic products offered by non-QM lenders: jumbo and super jumbo loans, foreign national loans, and self-employed loans. Explore the full range of programs offered by unconventional mortgage lenders
While traditional lenders shy away from high loan amounts, our non-QM lenders understand the complexities of larger loan amounts, offering up to 80% LTV up to $7.5 million.
Some banks do not lend to foreign nationals at all. Our lenders have special programs allowing foreign nationals from any country to invest in U.S. real estate.
Our lenders allow alternative income documentation, such as bank statements and profit-and-loss statements, acknowledging the varied nature of self-employment income.
We are not a traditional bank. As a mortgage broker with access to a network of the best non-QM mortgage lenders, we can tailor your loan to your exact needs.
Whatever the issue may be, our non-QM lenders have a solution.

Recognizing that your loan scenario doesn’t satisfy a traditional lender’s criteria is only half the battle.
The next step is finding the best non-QM lender with the best program for your situation.
Since most non-QM lenders operate on a wholesale basis, applications can only be submitted through a licensed mortgage broker.
At DAK Mortgage, our expertise lies in collaborating with the leading non-QM wholesale lenders nationwide.
Working with us saves valuable time, as we have established direct contacts with key individuals at these lending institutions. This insider access allows us to expedite your loan application process.
If you’re in the market to purchase a new property or aiming to refinance your existing one, we’re here to connect you with the non-QM lender that fits your circumstances.
Where traditional lenders may fall short, our lenders specialize in creative non-QM loans in Florida that get you to the closing table.
A non-QM loan can be a good choice for borrowers who don’t meet traditional lending criteria due to unique income streams, credit histories, or tricky property types. While offering flexibility, it’s important to carefully consider the potentially higher interest rates and specific terms of these loans.
Non-QM loan candidates include borrowers who do not show adequate income on their tax returns, such as self-employed or freelance workers, and those with higher debt-to-income ratios or credit issues. They also cater to borrowers looking to purchase or refinance difficult properties such as non-warrantable condominiums or short-term rental properties.

Everyone was very knowledgeable and had great communication. Karen Poy was especially great, she has an excellent understanding of the business, was quick to respond, very informative and clear in her emails, as well as generally very kind. We were very impressed and lucky to have gone with them. I highly recommend!Posted on Google Brittany FawJuly 30, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where should I start with our experience with DAK... I failed to ask David if it stood for his initials or if it stood for David and Karen cause in our experience they are both equally important and responsible for the success in our story. Two weeks prior to the closing date of our home I realized we would not be able to buy our home if something drastic didn't happen and quick. So, I asked our faithful friend chatgpt "I need the top broker to get me to the finish line and deliver!" AI said your best bet is calling DAK at x number and tell them exactly this and AI wrote me a long paragraph of what I needed. David answered the phone, I told him exactly what was happening and how I got his number... He laughed... Responded I can help and then it was down to business. His knowledge and resources was exactly what we needed and he knew exactly the documents and numbers to get us approved quick then like a great sprint he passed our file to Karen who delivered like the greatest closer Mariano Rivera. Karen's advice and step by step process gave us confidence we were in great hands. And like an ending in a great Disney movie... in 5 days we were ready for closing!! You can't beat that delivery and numbers don't lie... Soooo if you are looking for a Disney ending and/or the 'greatest' closer of all time like Mariano then sign up with DAK and leave stress behind.Posted on Google Jose Carlos NolascoJune 13, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had the pleasure of working with David and Karen on a residential jumbo mortgage in Miami. They were exceptional from start to finish, and helped me secure financing that other brokers couldn't manage, with favorable terms and a great locked-in rate. They were relentlessly diligent and responsive at every stage, from pre-approval through underwriting, final approval, and a smooth, drama-free closing. They even went above and beyond by helping me secure homeowners insurance. Professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting the deal done right. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.Posted on Google Paul MileticJanuary 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David and Karen are in league of their own. As foreign clients with a complex profile, we expected a complicated process - but they handled everything with precision, speed, and calm expertise. They truly specialize in mortgages for foreign nationals and unique clients, and it shows. They were incredibly responsive, proactive, and supportive from start to finish. What really stood out was their ability to turn what could have been a very stressful journey into something smooth, reassuring, and even uplifting. Our agents kept asking: “Who are these guys?” And “How did you find them?”. Their performance speaks for itself. With them anything is possible and I highly recommend them.Posted on Google Christopher TwymanNovember 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “It was an incredible experience buying my 5.75M home thanks to David and Karen at DAK Mortgage. They worked tirelessly around the clock to make the entire process smooth, guiding me through every step and ensuring all the paperwork was handled quickly.

Truly a dedicated and professional team!”Posted on Google Alex OjedaAugust 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was nervous about getting a home loan but these guys helped a lot. They explained all the numbers so I could understand what I was signing. Found me a lower rate than what my bank offered too. Process moved pretty fast and they handled most of the paper work for me. At one point I got confused on the closing costs but they broke it down again. Everyone I talked to was friendly and seemed to know their stuff. Just make sure to get all your documents in early, it helps. I’d use them again no question.Posted on Google Dylan DavisJune 30, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had a phenomenal experience with David.
