Folsom is a competitive, higher-priced market where many purchases push into jumbo territory and sellers expect a strong pre-approval before they take an offer seriously. Move-up buyers, relocating tech and healthcare professionals and long-time owners tapping equity are the borrowers we see most. FHA's 3.5 percent down loan accepts lower credit scores and higher debt ratios than conventional programs, which makes it the right low down payment choice for many Folsom buyers. VA offers zero down for eligible military borrowers, and USDA offers zero down in eligible rural and suburban parts of Sacramento County.

Housing runs from 1980s and 90s neighborhoods in Broadstone, Empire Ranch and Lexington Hills to historic homes near Sutter Street and brand-new construction in Folsom Ranch south of Highway 50. Cash to close is more than the down payment. Closing costs, prepaid taxes and insurance, and reserves all matter, and Pacific National Lending builds a complete estimate for every Folsom buyer so there are no surprises. Seller credits and lender credits can cover much of the closing costs when structured correctly.
A smaller down payment sometimes makes more sense than a larger one, especially if it preserves an emergency fund or allows you to buy in Folsom a year sooner. We help you weigh the trade-off honestly.
Our low down payment mortgages clients in Folsom come from Empire Ranch, Broadstone, Folsom Ranch, Historic Folsom and every other part of the Highway 50 corridor. Folsom is a short drive from our office, and in-person meetings are easy to arrange.
