Palo Alto is the birthplace of Silicon Valley, a leafy city next to Stanford University with a walkable University Avenue downtown and some of the most valuable residential streets in the country. We help Palo Alto buyers and homeowners with jumbo and super-jumbo purchase loans, refinances and equity financing. A home equity line of credit in Palo Alto lets homeowners borrow against their equity as needed, repay, and borrow again during the draw period, all while leaving the existing first mortgage untouched. Pacific National Lending brokers HELOCs through multiple lenders so Palo Alto homeowners can compare rates, limits and terms.

Palo Alto purchases routinely require loan amounts well beyond ordinary jumbo limits, and buyers are often founders, executives, physicians and professors with stock-heavy compensation or substantial assets. Qualifying on restricted stock, business income or asset-based programs takes a broker with access to many jumbo lenders, which is exactly how we work. Qualifying for a HELOC in Palo Alto depends on your equity, credit score and income. Most lenders allow combined borrowing up to 80 to 90 percent of the home's value across the first mortgage and the HELOC, with the best pricing for strong credit and lower combined loan-to-value ratios.

Housing includes historic homes in Professorville, Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park, bungalows in College Terrace and Downtown North, mid-century Eichler homes in Greenmeadow and Midtown, and larger lots in Barron Park. We help Palo Alto homeowners decide between a HELOC, a fixed-rate home equity loan and a cash-out refinance based on their current first-mortgage rate, how much they need and how quickly they plan to repay. Sometimes the cash-out refinance wins; often the HELOC does.
Investors in Palo Alto frequently use a HELOC on their primary residence to fund the down payment on a rental, then refinance the rental with a DSCR loan. We help structure both sides of that plan.
We help borrowers with a home equity line of credit throughout Palo Alto, including Old Palo Alto, Professorville, Crescent Park, Midtown, and across Silicon Valley. Palo Alto is a little over two hours from our Gold River office, and we handle Silicon Valley loans entirely by phone, email and e-signature.
