Hawaii and California Condo Loan Programs

Both Conventional and Government loans are considered Agency Loans because they are backed by one of the following government agencies:

  • Federal National Mortgage (Fannie Mae)
  • Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac)
  • Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae)

A Conforming Conventional Loan is one that is saleable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac with a loan amount up to the conforming limit, which is $1,089,300 throughout the state of Hawaii and $726,200 in most California counties. Once the loan amount exceeds the conforming limit, it becomes a Jumbo loan. Conforming Conventional loans are available in terms of 15-year and 30-year fixed and 3-year to 7-year Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs).

Government Loans are saleable to Ginnie Mae and include the following loan categories: VA loans, FHA loans, and USDA loans. There is a variety of loan terms available for Government loans – inquire when you speak with you Pacific Home Loans Loan Officer for more detailed information.

Non-Agency Loans, those loans that are not backed by Freddie, Fannie, or Ginnie, are called Portfolio Loans. These loans are available for financing when a loan scenario does not fit within the Agency guidelines. Pacific Home Loans is able to extend these loan programs in terms of 15-year and 30-year fixed and 1-year to 10-year Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs).

Your Pacific Home Loans Loan Officer will be able to guide you in selecting the loan program and term that is best for you.
