Brentwood is a fast-growing city in far east Contra Costa County, where former orchards have become master-planned neighborhoods and active-adult communities. We help Brentwood buyers and homeowners with conventional, jumbo, VA and FHA financing, plus reverse mortgages for the city's large 55-plus population. An FHA loan in Brentwood is one of the most accessible ways to buy a home. Insured by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans allow as little as 3.5 percent down, accept credit scores well below conventional minimums and allow higher debt-to-income ratios. Pacific National Lending brokers FHA loans through multiple FHA-approved lenders so Brentwood buyers get competitive pricing.

Brentwood draws East Bay families seeking newer, larger homes at lower prices than central Contra Costa, along with retirees moving into Summerset and Trilogy at the Vineyards. Many purchases reach jumbo levels, and the active-adult communities create steady demand for reverse mortgage and downsizing financing. The trade-off with FHA is mortgage insurance: an upfront premium financed into the loan and a monthly premium that stays for the life of the loan when you put less than 10 percent down. We compare that cost against conventional options for every Brentwood buyer so the decision is made on total cost, not just the down payment.

Housing is largely 1990s-to-new single-family homes in planned communities such as Shadow Lakes, Deer Ridge, Garin Ranch and Brentwood Hills, along with the Summerset and Trilogy at the Vineyards 55-plus communities and older homes near downtown. Our FHA process in Brentwood mirrors any other purchase loan: a fully underwritten pre-approval, a clear document list, appraisal and final approval, typically in about three weeks. Because we broker to several FHA lenders, a file that one lender declines often has a home with another.
Buyers in Brentwood using FHA can often combine it with CalHFA or local down payment assistance to cover part or all of the 3.5 percent down. We check every first-time buyer's eligibility for assistance before finalizing the loan structure.
We help borrowers with FHA loans throughout Brentwood, including Shadow Lakes, Deer Ridge, Summerset, Trilogy at the Vineyards, and across east Contra Costa County.
