What types of mortgages can I find through LendyWendy?

Does LendyWendy serve all of California?

Yes, LendyWendy serves all California markets including Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, San Jose, Orange County, and every other city and county in the state.

What is a DSCR loan and who qualifies?

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is an investment property loan that qualifies borrowers based on the property's rental income rather than personal income. Real estate investors qualify when the property's rental income covers at least 100% of the mortgage payment. No tax returns or employment verification required.

What credit score do I need for a California mortgage?

Credit score requirements vary by loan type: FHA loans accept 580+ (3.5% down) or 500-579 (10% down), Conventional loans require 620+, VA loans typically need 620+, and Jumbo loans usually require 700+. LendyWendy matches you with lenders who specialize in your credit profile.

How much down payment do I need to buy a house in California?

Down payment requirements depend on loan type: VA and USDA loans offer $0 down for eligible borrowers, FHA loans require 3.5% down, Conventional loans start at 3% down for first-time buyers, and Jumbo loans typically require 10-20% down. California down payment assistance programs may also be available.

What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on self-reported information and doesn't involve a credit check. Pre-approval is a formal commitment from a lender after reviewing your credit, income, and assets. Pre-approval letters make your offers more competitive in California's housing market.
