Newcastle is a small Placer County foothill community along Taylor Road and I-80 between Loomis and Auburn, once the heart of the region's fruit-shipping industry. We help Newcastle buyers and homeowners with financing for acreage, custom homes and rural properties. Saving 20 percent for a home in Newcastle can take years, and most buyers do not need to. Pacific National Lending helps Newcastle buyers use low down payment programs, gift funds, seller credits and assistance programs to close with a fraction of what they expected.

Newcastle buyers are typically looking for a few acres, a view and a quiet road, and many properties include wells, septic systems, barns or second units. That calls for a lender who understands rural appraisals and can structure conventional, jumbo or USDA financing around the property. 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 Newcastle buyers. VA offers zero down for eligible military borrowers, and USDA offers zero down in eligible rural and suburban parts of Placer County.
