What Are Purchase Loans?

A purchase loan, often referred to as a home buying loan, is a type of mortgage designed specifically to finance the purchase of a new home. Unlike refinancing or other types of loans, purchase loans are tailored for individuals or families looking to buy a property, whether it's a primary residence, a vacation home, or an investment property. These loans come in various forms, including conventional loans, FHA loans, VA loans, and USDA loans, each with its own set of eligibility criteria, benefits, and requirements.

At Summit Lending, we understand that every homebuyer has unique financial circumstances and goals. That's why we offer a wide range of purchase loan options to suit diverse needs. Our goal is to match you with the right loan product that aligns with your budget, credit profile, and long-term plans.

Types of Purchase Loans Offered by Summit Lending

We offer a comprehensive suite of purchase loan options to cater to a wide range of homebuyers. Here's a closer look at some of the most popular types of loans we provide:

Conventional Loans

Conventional loans are the most common type of mortgage and are not backed by the government. They typically require a higher credit score and a larger down payment compared to other loan types, but they offer flexibility in terms and often have lower overall costs for borrowers with strong credit. Summit Lending can help you determine if a conventional loan is the right choice for your home purchase.

FHA Loans

Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are government-backed loans designed to help first-time homebuyers and those with lower credit scores or limited savings for a down payment. FHA loans require as little as 3.5% down and have more lenient credit requirements, making them an excellent option for many buyers in California. Our team at Summit Lending can guide you through the FHA loan application process to ensure you meet all necessary qualifications.

VA Loans

VA loans are available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and certain military spouses. Backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, these loans often require no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI), making them a cost-effective option for those who qualify. If you're a veteran looking to buy a home in our service areas, Summit Lending is proud to assist you in securing a VA loan.

USDA Loans

USDA loans are government-backed loans aimed at promoting homeownership in rural and suburban areas. These loans often require no down payment and offer low interest rates for eligible borrowers purchasing homes in designated rural zones. Many areas in California qualify for USDA loans, and Summit Lending can help you explore this option if you're looking to buy in a qualifying location.

Understanding the Home Buying Process

Securing a purchase loan involves several steps, and Summit Lending is here to guide you through each one. Here's a brief overview of the home buying process:

1. Pre-Approval: Before you start shopping for a home, it's crucial to get pre-approved for a mortgage. Pre-approval shows sellers that you're a serious buyer and gives you a clear idea of how much you can afford. Visit our Pre-Approval page to learn more about this essential step.
2. Home Search: Once pre-approved, you can begin searching for your dream home. Work with a real estate agent to find properties that meet your needs and budget.
3. Making an Offer: When you find the right home, you'll make an offer. If accepted, you'll move into the next phase of the process.
4. Loan Application: At this stage, you'll formally apply for your purchase loan with Summit Lending. We'll help you gather the necessary documentation, such as income statements, credit reports, and asset information.
5. Appraisal and Inspection: The lender will require an appraisal to determine the value of the property, and you may also opt for a home inspection to ensure there are no major issues.
6. Closing: Once everything is finalized, you'll attend a closing meeting to sign the paperwork and officially take ownership of your new home.

Throughout this process, Summit Lending's experienced brokers will be by your side, answering questions and ensuring a seamless experience. We know that buying a home can be overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers, which is why we also offer specialized resources for first-time homebuyers.
