Conventional
Conventional loans are traditional mortgage options not insured by the federal government. They typically require a higher credit score and a down payment of at least 3%. These loans offer flexibility in terms of loan amounts and terms, making them suitable for various borrowers.
FHA
FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and designed for low-to-moderate-income borrowers. They allow for lower credit scores and down payments as low as 3.5%, making homeownership more accessible for first-time buyers.
VA Loan
VA loans are available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and some surviving spouses. These loans are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and offer benefits such as no down payment, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and competitive interest rates.
USDA
USDA loans are designed for low-to-moderate-income borrowers in rural areas. Backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, these loans offer 100% financing (no down payment) and are aimed at promoting homeownership in less densely populated regions.
Jumbo
Jumbo loans are non-conforming loans that exceed the limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). These loans are typically used for high-value properties and require stricter credit and financial qualifications due to their higher risk.
ITIN
ITIN loans are available for borrowers who do not have a Social Security number but possess an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). These loans cater to non-resident aliens and individuals with unique tax situations, providing a pathway to homeownership.
ARMs
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs) feature an initial fixed interest rate for a specified period, after which the rate adjusts periodically based on market conditions. These loans can offer lower initial payments but come with the risk of increasing payments over time.
DSCR
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loans are primarily for real estate investors. They allow borrowers to qualify based on the income generated from the investment property rather than their personal income, making them ideal for those looking to expand their property portfolio.
Hard Money
Hard money loans are short-term loans secured by real estate. Typically provided by private lenders, they are used for quick financing and are based more on the property's value than the borrower’s creditworthiness. These loans often have higher interest rates and shorter terms.
Investment
Investment loans are designed for individuals looking to purchase rental or investment properties. These loans may have different terms and down payment requirements compared to primary residence mortgages, focusing on the income potential of the property.
Bank Statement
Bank statement loans allow self-employed borrowers to qualify for a mortgage based on their bank statements rather than traditional income documentation. This option is beneficial for those with irregular income streams who can demonstrate sufficient cash flow through their accounts.
Construction Loans
Construction loans are short-term loans used to finance the building of a new home or major renovations. They typically cover the cost of construction and convert to a permanent mortgage once the project is completed. We are proud to partner with multiple lenders that offer One Time Closing which rolls in the construction phase and 30 year mortgage into one closing.
Down Payment Assistance
Down payment assistance programs provide financial aid to homebuyers, helping cover the down payment and sometimes closing costs. These programs are often offered by state or local governments and nonprofit organizations to promote affordable homeownership.
Bridge Loans
Bridge loans are short-term financing options designed to bridge the gap between the purchase of a new home and the sale of an existing one. They provide quick access to funds, allowing homeowners to act on new opportunities while waiting for their current property to sell.
Land Loan
Land loans are used to purchase vacant land for future development or investment. These loans can be harder to obtain than traditional mortgages and may require larger down payments and higher interest rates due to the increased risk associated with undeveloped property.
Foreign National
Specifically designed for non-U.S. citizens who wish to purchase property in the United States. Catered to individuals residing outside the U.S. or those who have recently moved here. Typically, they require a larger down payment and may not require U.S. credit history, making homeownership accessible for foreign investors or expatriates. Ideal for those looking to invest in American real estate while navigating unique lending requirements.
