James Canfield

About James

James served as a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, where he was Fiscal Chief, Funeral Detail Platoon Leader, and NCOIC for Supply and Logistics. He has been originating since 2015.

He is licensed nationwide. Most of his volume is DSCR and hard money for real estate investors, along with conventional, VA and FHA lending in the states where he holds a license.

For two years he worked as a solution consultant, which meant taking on the loans other people could not structure and finding a way to close them. That is still how he prefers to work. He does not want anyone reading this page to assume he handles only a narrow set of scenarios, because the difficult files are the ones he took the job for.

Check this officer before you call

Every mortgage loan originator in the United States carries their own NMLS number, and so does the company they work for. Both are public, and both are listed on this page. Looking someone up takes under a minute and it is the single best habit a borrower can have — with us, and with anyone else you are talking to.

Company: CME Lending Group LLC, doing business as The Mortgage Exchange, NMLS #1248883. In Indiana, The Mortgage Exchange, LLC. Verify the company at NMLS Consumer Access, or see our full licensing table.

No rates, payments or quotes appear on this page, and that is deliberate. Anything you are told about a rate or a payment should come to you in writing on a Loan Estimate after you apply — not from a marketing page. If you want real numbers for your situation, that is exactly the conversation to have with the officer above.

A licensed loan officer reviews what you send and tells you where you stand, in writing. No cost, and no obligation to go further.
