OTHER LOAN TYPES
A conventional mortgage refers to a loan that is not insured or guaranteed by the federal government. Conventional loans are designed for good-to-great credit and income consumers, who have money saved up for a down payment.

For loans with 20% equity / down payment, there is no mortgage insurance required. For loans with LTV’s higher than 80%, the mortgage insurance premium is cheaper than FHA loans. “Cash-out” loans up to 80% of the home’s value.

FHA mortgages are loans that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Popular among first-time homebuyers, FHA loans are designed for low-to-moderate income consumers.

FHA loans typically have a more relaxed credit requirement than conforming loans. Down payment requirement is as little as 3.5%. “Cash-out” loans up to 85% of the home’s value.

VA loans are guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. They offer long-term financing to eligible American veterans or a surviving spouse of a veteran.

No down payment is required, and up to 100% of the purchase or refinance of a home can be offered.

A portfolio loan represents a mortgage that is both initiated and maintained by the lending institution, as opposed to being sold in the secondary mortgage market. This means the loan remains part of the lender’s portfolio throughout its entire duration.

USDA loans are guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture. These loans (also known as Rural Development loans) are designed to help low-to-moderate income consumers purchase homes in rural areas.

USDA loans often don’t require a down payment and provide up to 100% for a home purchase or refinance (rate and term only if existing home is insured by USDA, and no-cash outs).

Loans that exceed the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are known as Jumbo loans.

Fixed and adjustable rate terms available. Loans available up to $3 million.
