Home Purchase and Refinance Loans

Whether you're buying your first home or unlocking equity in the one you already own, Jaime Fernandez helps borrowers in Arizona, California, and Nevada find the right loan for their situation.

Home Purchase

Find the Right Loan to Buy Your Home

From first-time buyers to seasoned homeowners moving up, there's a loan program designed for your situation. Jaime walks you through every option so you can make a confident decision.

Conventional Loans

As little as 3% down for qualified buyers. Ideal for borrowers with strong credit and stable income.

FHA Loans

Government-backed loans with 3.5% down and flexible credit requirements — great for first-time buyers.

VA Loans

Zero down payment for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses.

USDA Loans

No down payment required for eligible rural and suburban properties. Income limits apply.

Jumbo Loans

Financing above conforming loan limits for higher-priced properties in competitive markets.

Down Payment Assistance

Arizona HOME Plus, Pathway to Purchase, and other programs to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.

Refinance

Refinance Options for Every Goal

Refinancing isn't one-size-fits-all. Whether you want a lower rate, shorter term, or cash in hand, Jaime helps you evaluate whether refinancing makes financial sense for your situation.

Rate & Term Refinance

Lower your interest rate, shorten your loan term, or both — without taking cash out.

Cash-Out Refinance

Access your home equity as cash for debt consolidation, home improvements, or investments.

FHA Streamline

Simplified refinance for existing FHA borrowers with reduced documentation requirements.

VA IRRRL

Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan — the fastest way for veterans to lower their VA loan rate.

Remove PMI

Refinance once you've reached 20% equity to eliminate private mortgage insurance payments.

Conventional Refinance

Refinance out of FHA or into better terms once your credit and equity position improves.

Signs It May Be Time to Refinance

Your current rate is 1%+ above today's market rates
You want to pay off your mortgage faster
You need cash for home improvements or debt payoff
You want to remove FHA mortgage insurance (MIP)
Your credit score has improved significantly
You want to switch from an ARM to a fixed rate
You're going through a divorce and need to remove a borrower
You want to consolidate a first and second mortgage

Refinancing involves closing costs and resets your loan term. Whether it makes sense depends on your break-even timeline, remaining balance, and goals. Speak with Jaime to run the numbers for your specific situation.
