Our Residential Loan Programs
A residential mortgage loan is made primarily for personal, family, or household use and is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or other equivalent consensual security interest on a house.
As a community-oriented organization, we would never recommend unusual programs, such as NINA, NINJA, or SISA loans. The financial regulations of today have virtually eliminated such dodgy programs. Home financing programs are now known as full documentation loans and require the following:
- Verification of Employment
- Verification of Income
- Verification of Assets
- Verification of Large Deposits
