The loan options

  • Conventional: This is the most common loan, available with a down payment as low as 3%. Conventional loans typically require a solid credit score and lower debt-to-income ratios.
  • FHA: A Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan is backed by the government and are popular among first-time home buyers because they offer lower down payment options, as little as 3.5%. FHA loans have lower minimum credit score requirements and provide opportunities for borrowers with higher debt-to-income ratios.
  • Jumbo: This is the option for you if you’re shopping for a luxury home with a purchase price exceeding the conforming loan limit ($726,200).
  • VA loans: A flexible, low-interest mortgage for members of the U.S. military (active duty and veterans) with no minimum down payment requirement.
  • Doctor loans: A loan tailored for medical professionals with flexible down payment options and up to 100% financing available. No private mortgage insurance (PMI) required and higher debt-to-income ratios allowed.
  • Construction loans: Offering one-time close construction loans with flexible terms, designed to help you finance the building of your new home. Use this type of loan is when you, the borrower, are financing the project.
  • Extended rate-lock program: Get a 6- or 12-month extended rate lock option for new construction loans, when the builder is financing the project.
