Oakland is the Alameda County seat and the largest city in the East Bay, running from the Lake Merritt waterfront and Jack London Square up through Rockridge and Montclair into the redwood-covered hills. We help Oakland buyers, homeowners and investors with FHA, conventional, jumbo and multi-unit financing. A refinance is only worth doing when the math works, and Pacific National Lending starts every Oakland refinance conversation with the numbers: the new rate, the closing costs, how many months it takes to recover those costs, and what you save over the time you expect to keep the home.

Oakland is really a collection of very different markets: first-time buyers using FHA and conventional loans in the flatlands, heavy competition and overbidding for Craftsman homes in Rockridge, Temescal and Glenview, and jumbo loans for view homes in the hills. Duplexes, triplexes and condos are a large share of sales, so rental income rules and condo project approval come up on many files, as does wildfire insurance in the hills. Refinancing an Oakland home usually requires a new appraisal, income and asset verification and a credit review, though FHA and VA streamline refinances reduce that paperwork for borrowers who already have those loan types. We tell you up front which path applies to you.

Housing includes Craftsman bungalows in Rockridge, Temescal, Dimond and Laurel, Mediterranean and Tudor homes in Crocker Highlands and Glenview, condos and lofts around Lake Merritt and Jack London Square, and mid-century and contemporary homes in Montclair and the Oakland Hills. If you have an existing low-rate first mortgage in Oakland, refinancing the whole loan to access cash may not be the best move. We will say so, and we will show you the alternatives, including a HELOC or a second mortgage that leaves your first loan untouched.
