With over two decades of experience in the mortgage industry, I have built a reputation for exceptional service, trust, and in-depth knowledge of California's unique housing market. Having navigated a variety of market conditions, from booming real estate markets to economic downturns, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to help clients secure the best financing options for their needs.

With intimate knowledge of the state's diverse real estate markets—from urban areas like Los Angeles to more suburban and rural regions—I am equipped to guide clients through the complexities of local regulations, property values, and market trends. Whether dealing with first-time homebuyers, experienced investors, or those looking to refinance, I can provide tailored solutions for each situation.

I am a single parent with two sons with one going to high school and the other entering middle school.  I have also been an active competitor in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for the past 20 years and am an avid surfer, snowboarder and skateboarder.

Clients appreciate my responsiveness and transparency throughout the loan process. I work closely with borrowers to ensure that every step—application, approval, documentation, and closing—is smooth and efficient.

Client success stories

Scott Kagi was very easy to work with, knowledgeable, detailed, honest, transparent, and respectful. He was always patient and understanding, making the complicated transaction as easy as possible.

Charles B.

Scott is very personable, communicative, and helpful to explain the lending process. I was the Realtor on this transaction and continue to be impressed with Scott and his professionalism.

Kristen L.

Scott was introduced to me after my husband and I had already chosen a lender for our first home. Upon Scott's great work ethic and drive to get the best rates for his clients, he offered us a deal that we could not resist. We decided to go with Scott last minute and it made all the difference. The process was streamlined and we did not have to worry about a thing! He was quick with phone calls and texts messages, even helping us while away at a family emergency. He is very knowledgable and extremely great to work with. I highly recommend Scott and his team. We plan to use him in the future for any refinancing or 2nd home purchase.

Sarah H.

Scott did an awesome job helping my clients get the loan they needed at a great rate. He is very professional and responds quickly to all questions. I highly recommend him.

First-Time Homebuyers

Things to keep in mind
FHA Loans — A Powerful First-Time Buyer Tool
A 30-year fixed mortgage offers a stable interest rate and consistent monthly payments over the life of the loan. Your principal and interest payments remain the same for the full 30 years, regardless of market fluctuations.
Your First Tax Break
Buying your first home can open the door to major tax benefits. You may be eligible to deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, and possibly mortgage insurance — savings that may reduce your taxable income significantly. Don’t forget to explore state-level tax credits or assistance programs too. Speak to one of Multiply Mortgage’s loan experts to help you understand what is in the realm of the possible.
Understanding Closing Costs
Buying a home involves more than just saving for a down payment. You’ll also need to budget for closing costs, which usually range from 2% to 5% of the purchase price. These costs generally include things  like appraisals, title insurance, and more. Multiply Mortgage can help you estimate your closing costs upfront to avoid surprises when it’s time to close on your new home.
Why Pre-Approval Matters
Getting pre-approved for a mortgage shows sellers you’re a serious buyer and helps you know exactly what you can afford. Pre-approval can also speed up the closing process. Our team can help guide you through the simple steps to get started.

Multiply Mortgage’s experts can help you explore options like bridge loans or HELOCs to keep your move seamless. Understanding your options in regards to your current equity can help you make more competitive offers. Take advantage of the opportunity to leverage one of our experts today.
Thinking of a Trade-Up?
Thinking about a bigger home or different neighborhood? Timing your purchase and sale is critical. Multiply Mortgage helps coordinate offers, avoid costly interim housing and evaluate contingencies. We can also analyze your affordability under today’s rates and help you make sense of buy-before-you-sell options. Speak with one of our mortgage experts today and understand all of your options.
Navigating Contingencies
When buying and selling at the same time, contingencies can protect you—like making your purchase dependent on selling your current home. Multiply Mortgage can help you structure offers that balance your needs and keep your transactions on track.
Considering Renovation Loans
Found a home that needs updates? Renovation loans, like FHA 203(k) or Fannie Mae’s HomeStyle, let you finance repairs and improvements as part of your mortgage. Multiply’s experts can help you explore these options and understand what’s possible for your next investment.

Things to keep in mind
Building Equity While You Sleep
One of the most powerful aspects of real estate investing is equity growth through mortgage paydown and appreciation. With each monthly payment, your tenants build your equity. Multiply Mortgage can help you compare loan structures that drive the best monthly payments for you — essential for scaling your portfolio over time.
Know Your DSCR
For investment properties, your Debt-Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) could matter more than your salary. Multiply Mortgage’s loan experts can help you prioritize and recognize income-producing value to identify your best option.
Exploring Portfolio Loans
If you own multiple properties, traditional loans may not always fit your needs. Portfolio loans—held by lenders instead of being sold to investors—can offer flexible terms for complex situations. Multiply Mortgage can help you evaluate if this approach is right for your investment strategy.
Cash-Out Refinance for Growth
Need capital for your next investment? A cash-out refinance lets you tap into your property’s equity to fund new purchases or renovations. Multiply Mortgage can help you compare options and calculate the impact on your overall portfolio.
