Truckee is a mountain town on I-80 just north of Lake Tahoe, where year-round residents, second-home owners and short-term rental investors all compete for homes in Tahoe Donner, Glenshire and the historic downtown. We help Truckee buyers and homeowners with jumbo, second-home and investment property financing. Sellers in Truckee routinely receive multiple offers, and the pre-approval letter attached to yours is often what separates it from the rest. Pacific National Lending issues pre-approvals backed by an actual review of your documents, which means fewer surprises after your offer is accepted.

Truckee is a high-priced resort market where most purchases are jumbo loans and a large share are second homes or investment properties, each with its own down payment and qualifying rules. Buyers often need financing that accounts for HOA dues, mountain insurance costs and short-term rental income. In the Truckee market, a pre-qualification based on a phone conversation is not enough. Listing agents want to see that a lender has reviewed pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements and credit, and that the buyer is approved subject only to the property. That is what a PNL pre-approval delivers.
Get Pre-approved
Housing includes mountain homes and cabins in Tahoe Donner, family neighborhoods in Glenshire and Prosser Lakeview, lakefront and near-lake homes at Donner Lake, condos near downtown, and luxury homes in Gray's Crossing, Old Greenwood and the Martis Valley communities. The pre-approval process for Truckee buyers starts online or by phone, with no credit pull at the first step. Once we talk through your goals, we collect documents through a secure portal, review the file and issue a letter, usually within one to two business days. Letters are updated for each offer you write.
Pre-approval is also the moment to check for down payment assistance, seller-credit strategies and rate buydowns. Many first-time buyers in Truckee discover they need less cash to close than they expected once we run the numbers.
