Conventional Loans

Flexible Financing for a Wide Range of Homebuyers

Conventional mortgages are among the most popular home financing options. They aren’t insured by a government agency and can offer competitive rates, flexible terms, and multiple down-payment options for qualified borrowers.

Conventional financing may be a good fit for:

  • Primary residences, second homes and investment properties
  • First-time and repeat homebuyers
  • Buyers with strong credit profiles
  • Borrowers looking for fixed- or adjustable-rate options
  • Buyers who want the ability to eliminate private mortgage insurance when applicable

Some qualified borrowers may be able to purchase a primary residence with as little as 3% down.

FHA Loans

A Flexible Path to Homeownership

FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and are designed to make homeownership accessible to a broad range of qualified borrowers.

FHA financing may offer:

  • Down payments as low as 3.5% for qualifying borrowers
  • Flexible credit and qualifying guidelines
  • Gift funds toward eligible purchase expenses
  • Fixed-rate and certain adjustable-rate options
  • Financing for eligible 1–4 unit owner-occupied properties

FHA loan limits vary by county and property type and are updated annually. HUD’s 2026 one-unit limits range from $541,287 in standard-cost areas to $1,249,125 in designated high-cost areas.

VA Loans

Home Financing Benefits for Those Who Served

Eligible Veterans, active-duty service members and certain surviving spouses may have access to one of the most powerful home financing programs available.

VA-backed loans can offer:

  • No down payment in many situations
  • No monthly private mortgage insurance
  • Competitive interest rates
  • Limits on certain closing costs
  • Purchase and refinance options
  • A reusable lifetime benefit for eligible borrowers

Nearly 90% of VA-backed home loans are made without a down payment, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Eligibility and entitlement are determined through the VA Certificate of Eligibility and applicable lending requirements.

USDA Loans

100% Financing Opportunities in Eligible Areas

USDA home loans can provide an attractive path to homeownership for qualified borrowers purchasing eligible properties in designated rural and suburban areas.

Depending on the program and borrower qualifications, benefits may include:

  • No down payment
  • Competitive fixed interest rates
  • Financing for eligible primary residences
  • Opportunities for moderate-income households
  • Flexible qualifying options

Property location and household income restrictions apply.

Jumbo Loans

Financing Designed for Higher-Value Homes

When the loan amount exceeds the applicable conforming loan limit, jumbo financing may provide the solution.

Jumbo loans can be particularly important in higher-priced markets such as Cave Creek, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and other Arizona luxury-home communities.

Depending on the program, jumbo financing may offer:

  • Financing above conforming loan limits
  • Fixed- and adjustable-rate options
  • Primary residence, second-home and investment-property programs
  • Multiple down-payment structures
  • Solutions for borrowers with substantial assets or complex income

Rather than relying on an outdated dollar threshold, jumbo classification depends upon the current conforming loan limit for the property’s location and type. FHFA updates those limits annually.

First-Time Homebuyer Programs

You May Need Less Cash Than You Think

One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home is that you need 20% down.

You don’t.

Depending on qualifications and the loan program, buyers may have access to:

  • Conventional financing with as little as 3% down
  • FHA financing with as little as 3.5% down
  • VA financing with no down payment for eligible borrowers
  • USDA financing with no down payment for eligible borrowers and properties
  • Gift funds
  • Eligible down-payment assistance programs

We’ll help you compare the programs available to you and understand the true amount of money you may need to purchase a home.

Down Payment Assistance Programs

Making Homeownership More Attainable

For some homebuyers, the monthly mortgage payment isn’t the biggest obstacle—the upfront cash is.

Down-payment and closing-cost assistance programs may be available depending on your location, income, occupation, property and loan program.

Programs change frequently, so rather than relying on outdated information online, talk with Marketline Mortgage about the programs currently available for your situation.

Bank Statement & Non-QM Loans

Mortgage Solutions Beyond Traditional Income Documentation

Not every qualified borrower fits neatly into a conventional mortgage box.

Self-employed borrowers, business owners, real estate investors and borrowers with complex financial profiles may benefit from alternative documentation or Non-QM mortgage programs.

Depending on the program, qualification may consider:

  • Personal or business bank statements
  • Asset-based qualification
  • Alternative income documentation
  • Investment-property cash flow
  • Other nontraditional qualifying methods

Program requirements, rates and terms vary substantially.

DSCR Investment Property Loans

Financing Designed With Real Estate Investors in Mind

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio—or DSCR loan—may allow an investor to qualify primarily based on the property’s rental income and cash flow rather than traditional personal-income calculations.

DSCR financing may be useful for:

  • Rental-property investors
  • Buyers building an investment portfolio
  • Self-employed investors
  • Short- or long-term rental properties, subject to program requirements
  • Investors looking for alternatives to traditional income documentation

Reverse Mortgages / HECM

Put Your Home Equity to Work in Retirement

For homeowners age 62 or older, a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) may provide a way to access a portion of accumulated home equity without requiring monthly principal and interest mortgage payments.

Depending on eligibility and circumstances, proceeds may be available as a lump sum, line of credit, monthly advances, or a combination of options.

The borrower remains responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, property maintenance and other applicable property charges, and the home must generally remain the borrower’s principal residence.

For 2026, HUD established the nationwide HECM maximum claim amount at $1,249,125.

Refinance Loans

Your Mortgage Should Continue to Fit Your Financial Goals

A refinance can potentially help homeowners accomplish several different objectives—not simply lower an interest rate.

Depending on your circumstances, refinancing may allow you to:

  • Reduce your monthly principal and interest payment
  • Change the term of your mortgage
  • Move from an adjustable-rate to a fixed-rate loan
  • Access available home equity
  • Consolidate certain debts
  • Remove or restructure existing financing

A refinance should make financial sense after considering the new rate, payment, closing costs, loan term and how long you expect to own the property.

Financing for Situations That Don’t Fit the Ordinary Mortgage

Marketline Mortgage can also help borrowers explore specialized financing solutions for unique properties and financial situations.

Depending on availability and borrower qualifications, options may include renovation financing, manufactured-home financing, investment-property programs, alternative documentation loans and other specialty mortgage products.
