Carlos Scarpero
VA Mortgage Specialist
I’m a top-producing Mortgage Loan Officer at Edge Home Finance, licensed in 33 states and based in Dayton, Ohio. About 90% of my business is focused on VA loans, and I’m the author of VA Loans Made Easy on Amazon. I’ve been featured on several nationally known websites and podcasts, and my YouTube channel, focused on VA loans, has earned over a million views.
Before entering the mortgage world, I built and ran a successful digital marketing agency, which continues to fuel my referral-based business. I also spent 11 years as a freelance loan closer and have real estate investing experience, particularly with tax liens and distressed properties, giving me a broad, real-world understanding of the market.
I’m a Distinguished Toastmaster and former leader of the Dayton Pulse networking group. I’m passionate about helping clients have a stress-free experience and helping fellow loan officers grow and lead in this industry.
