Pacifica stretches along six miles of Highway 1 coastline just south of San Francisco, a string of beach and valley neighborhoods backed by green coastal hills. We help Pacifica buyers and homeowners with conventional and jumbo purchase loans, refinances and equity lines. An FHA loan in Pacifica 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 Pacifica buyers get competitive pricing.

Pacifica appeals to buyers who want ocean air and trails within a twenty-minute drive of San Francisco, and it remains a relative value for the Peninsula even though most purchases reach jumbo loan amounts. Coastal conditions matter here: salt-air wear shows up in appraisals, and blufftop and hillside properties can bring additional insurance and geotechnical questions. FHA loan limits are set by county, and in San Mateo County they cover most entry-level and mid-range homes in Pacifica. FHA also allows the purchase of 2-to-4-unit properties with 3.5 percent down when you live in one unit, which is a popular strategy for buyers who want rental income to help with the payment.
Get Pre-approved
Housing is mostly 1950s and 60s ranch and split-level homes in Linda Mar, Park Pacifica, Fairmont and Pacific Manor, with beach cottages and custom homes in Pedro Point, Rockaway Beach, Vallemar and Sharp Park. Our FHA process in Pacifica 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 Pacifica 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.
Pacific National Lending serves Linda Mar, Pedro Point, Rockaway Beach, Vallemar and the rest of Pacifica for FHA loans. Pacifica is a little over two hours from our Gold River office, and we complete Pacifica loans remotely.
