Multnomah County
Mortgage Financing
Pacific Home Loans provides mortgage financing throughout Multnomah County, including Portland, Gresham, and surrounding communities. We offer conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, portfolio, and Non-QM loan programs structured for the Portland metro’s diverse property landscape and borrower profiles.
Multnomah County is Oregon’s most populous county and the economic and cultural center of the Pacific Northwest’s second-largest metro area. With a 2026 high-balance conforming loan limit of $862,500 – among the highest in Oregon – a meaningful share of Portland’s luxury and urban transactions require jumbo financing or specialized underwriting. The county has a high concentration of tech professionals, self-employed business owners, creative industry workers, and real estate investors whose income structures frequently benefit from Non-QM and portfolio programs.

Portland Luxury
Real Estate Financing
Portland’s luxury market spans several distinct neighborhoods and communities – from the West Hills estates overlooking the city to the high-rise condominiums of the Pearl District and the established enclaves of Southwest Portland. These markets attract high-net-worth primary residence buyers, second-home purchasers, and investors, and frequently involve financing complexity beyond standard agency guidelines.
Key Portland Luxury Markets
- West Hills / Dunthorpe – Portland’s most exclusive residential enclave with estate properties and panoramic city and mountain views
- Lake Oswego – premier luxury suburb immediately south of Portland with waterfront estates and high-value neighborhoods
- West Linn – established luxury community with strong appreciation and access to the Willamette River
- Pearl District – Portland’s urban luxury condominium and loft market in the city’s most sought-after walkable neighborhood
- Southwest Portland hills – custom estate and architect-designed home market with forest and city view settings
Financing in these markets commonly involves:
- Jumbo loan amounts above the $862,500 high-balance conforming limit
- Complex borrower profiles – tech executives, business owners, attorneys, and medical professionals
- Self-employed and alternative income documentation needs
- Non-warrantable condominium projects in urban high-rise and mixed-use developments
- Competitive purchase environments requiring fast, credible pre-approval

— SPECIALIZED FINANCING
Urban Condominium &
High-Rise Financing
Portland’s urban condominium market – concentrated in the Pearl District, South Park Blocks, and the Central Eastside – includes a range of high-rise and mixed-use developments where financing may require additional project-level review. Many of Portland’s most desirable urban residences involve ownership structures or HOA compositions that require non-agency or portfolio financing.
Properties may include:
- Non-warrantable condominium characteristics in high-rise and mixed-use buildings
- High investor ownership concentration above agency thresholds
- Commercial ground-floor components in mixed-use projects
- HOA reserve adequacy and insurance coverage considerations
For condominium-specific complexity and resort-style projects:

Some condominiums – particularly resort-designated or non-warrantable projects – require specialized underwriting that conventional lenders cannot provide.

Multnomah County Relocator,
Investor & Non-QM Loans
Tech Professional & Self-Employed Borrower Financing
The Portland metro has a significant and growing tech sector, with major employers and a strong independent tech and startup community. Many Portland borrowers — including software engineers, product managers, consultants, and business owners — have income structures involving RSU compensation, variable earnings, business deductions, or 1099 income that do not align cleanly with traditional W-2 documentation requirements.
Available Non-QM programs include:
- Bank statement loans — qualification based on 12 or 24 months of business or personal deposits
- Asset-based qualification — qualification based on liquid and investable asset reserves
- 1099 loan programs — for independent contractors, consultants, and freelance professionals
- DSCR / investor cash flow loans — qualification based on rental property income
- Portfolio lending solutions — customized structuring for complex borrower scenarios
High-Value & Complex Transactions
Portland’s competitive luxury market and the complexity of many urban condominium transactions frequently require financing flexibility beyond standard agency guidelines. Portfolio lending solutions provide options for borrowers navigating timing, asset, or property eligibility challenges.
Portfolio lending solutions may allow borrowers to:
- Structure financing around a liquidity event, equity event, or business sale
- Strengthen and de-risk purchase offers in competitive bidding situations
- Bridge from a current property to a new purchase without contingency
- Finance properties that fall outside standard agency or jumbo guidelines
