Home / Loan Options
Buying a home is one of the largest investments you will make during your lifetime. And yet many of us do that without much guidance. We hire a real estate agent who may or may not direct us to a bank for a mortgage. For the most part, we stumble through the buying and mortgage application process without much assistance and hope for the best.

When you are searching for a residential mortgage, you want to know all your options. However, when you go searching at your local bank, you don’t get the entire spectrum of options available to you. You get whatever that bank offers as loan products. Typically, it is a narrow set of mortgage products with an equally narrow set of qualifying criteria.

Most people require a mortgage when purchasing a home. The first thing you should do before shopping for a home is to understand exactly what you can afford. We offer a no-cost prequalification so you know how much house you can buy and the seller knows you are qualified to buy his or her home.
A conventional loan is one that is most commonly offered by a bank or large lending institution. It is one that fits within the criteria of FNMA (“Fannie Mae”) or FHLMC (“Freddie Mac”) and enables large banks to sell their mortgages.
FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and offer borrowers lower average interest rates, requires lower credit ratings requirements for approval, lower down payments and the ability of the seller to pay toward closing costs. FHA loans are also assumable.
VA loans are backed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and are for American veterans, military members currently serving, reservists and some surviving spouses. Some benefits of a VA loan include no down payment, no PMI, a limitation on the amount of closing costs that a borrower can be charged and lower average interest rates. VA loans are also assumable.
Loans in excess of the conforming values set by FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) are considered jumbo loans. In California, conforming values are determined by county. In Santa Clara County, a jumbo loan is anything exceeding $726,525 for a single-family home.
Stated income mortgages are available to self-employed and other borrowers who may have a difficult time qualifying for a traditional mortgage. These require far less documentation for qualification and are often far quicker to close.
