Conventional loans are offered by private lenders and typically follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines. With strong credit and stable income, you can often qualify for competitive pricing and flexible terms like 30-year fixed or 15-year fixed. Putting 20% down can help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) and build equity faster, but many conventional programs allow a lower down payment with PMI required until you reach sufficient equity.
FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and are designed to be more flexible for many first-time buyers. In many cases, you can purchase with as little as 3.5% down, and credit guidelines are often more forgiving than conventional financing. FHA loans include Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) (upfront and monthly), which helps make the program accessible with a smaller down payment. Another advantage is that FHA loans are assumable, meaning a future buyer may be able to take over your loan terms when you sell. I offer FHA financing and will help you determine whether it’s the right fit for your goals.
A VA loan is a home loan benefit earned through service and is available to eligible active-duty service members, veterans, and some surviving spouses. Eligibility is confirmed through a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and the VA-approved application process. VA loans often allow 0% down and typically have no monthly mortgage insurance, which can meaningfully reduce the payment compared to other low-down-payment options. VA financing may also be used to purchase a home, refinance an existing VA loan, and support certain specially adapted housing needs for service-connected disabilities.
A Construction-to-Permanent mortgage is used to finance the construction of your home, lock in your interest rate and close before construction begins. Once construction has been completed, the C2P loan converts to a permanent mortgage.
A Jumbo loan is financing that exceeds the conforming loan limit, which is updated annually and can vary by county. For 2026, the baseline one-unit conforming limit in most areas is $832,750. (FHFA.gov) Jumbo loans are typically underwritten with stricter credit and asset requirements, and they may require larger down payments or reserves depending on the scenario. The benefit is flexibility: jumbo financing can help you purchase higher-priced homes while tailoring the structure to your broader financial profile.

Strategic Insights & Mortgage Guides
Clear answers, market trends, and expert advice to help you navigate your home financing journey.
When buyers enter the market, they usually focus heavily on the down payment and monthly mortgage principal and interest. However, budgeting for a home requires looking at the total picture. From property taxes and homeowners insurance (often bundled into escrow) to unexpected maintenance reserves, preparing early protects you from last-minute financial stress.
How to Qualify for a FHA Loan Without Liquidating Your Investments
Purchasing a luxury property? Learn how lenders evaluate non-traditional assets like RSUs, stock options, and investment portfolios to help you secure a jumbo loan with as little as 10% down.
JUMBO LOAN
Traditional underwriting rules don’t always fit high-earning professionals or those with complex compensation packages. If a large portion of your wealth is tied up in equity compensation, restricted stock units (RSUs), or diversified portfolios, you don’t necessarily have to sell them off to buy a home. Strategic lenders know how to leverage your full financial profile.

FAQs
A pre-qualification is a surface-level estimate based on unverified data. My strategic pre-approval involves a deep dive into your tax returns, credit data, and assets. By running this “stress test” upfront, we identify and clear potential underwriting hurdles before you ever make an offer, giving you the same negotiating power as a cash buyer.
It comes down to a “break-even” analysis. FHA is excellent for lower down payments and flexible credit, but it carries permanent mortgage insurance. Conventional loans often have slightly higher rates for lower credit scores but allow you to cancel your PMI once you reach 20% equity. I provide a side-by-side analytical comparison to show which option costs you less over your expected time in the home.
Yes. While many retail banks strictly require 20% down for high-balance loans, my access to specialized “Non-Conforming” channels allows for 10% or 15% down payment options for qualified borrowers. This is a strategic move for clients who prefer to keep their capital deployed in the market rather than tied up in home equity.
C2P is a “one-time close” process. We secure your lot, your builder’s contract, and your long-term mortgage all at once. You lock in your permanent interest rate before construction begins, protecting you from market spikes. During the build, you only pay interest on the funds actually disbursed to the builder, keeping your monthly carry costs low.
Consistency is the key to a smooth closing. Avoid making large, undocumented deposits into your bank accounts, do not apply for new credit (like a car or furniture), and maintain your current employment status. Even a small change in your financial profile can trigger a re-underwrite, so I recommend consulting with me before making any significant financial moves during the process.
