Financing Your Home
Understanding your financing options is key to a successful purchase.
Loan Types
Conventional Loans
Most common type of mortgage, typically requiring 5-20% down payment and good credit.
FHA Loans
Government-backed loans with lower down payment requirements, ideal for first-time buyers.
Jumbo Loans
For loan amounts exceeding conforming loan limits, common in San Mateo County's higher price ranges.
VA Loans
For eligible veterans and service members, offering competitive terms and no down payment.
Getting Pre-Approved
Pre-approval shows sellers you're a serious buyer and helps you understand your budget. Requires:
- Recent pay stubs and tax returns
- Bank statements
- Credit check
- Employment verification
