Conventional Home Loans
Conventional mortgage loans are not backed by the federal government and have less limits and restrictions on the types of property which can be financed, but require very good to excellent credit to qualify for the best rates.
VA Mortgage Loans
Loans backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are offered to active-duty military personnel and veterans, reservists, and National Guard members. In some cases, spouses of veterans are also eligible.
FHA Mortgage Loans
Home loans insured by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) provide more flexible credit and income standards and lower down-payment requirements than conventional mortgages.
Jumbo Mortgage Loans
Jumbo mortgages are home loans for amounts in excess of the conforming loan limit, which is currently $625,500 in Los Angeles County.
Mortgage Refinancing
Refinancing may be an option for existing homeowners looking to lower their current mortgage interest rate or convert home equity to cash for home improvements or other needs.
“Non-Qualified” Mortgage Loans
So-called “non-qualified” or “non-QM” mortgages cover a wide range of loan products for home buyers whose needs don’t match up to traditional mortgage products like conventional and FHA loans.
