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. Reverse mortgages have changed a great deal, and today's FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) includes consumer protections, required counseling and non-recourse terms. Pacific National Lending walks Oakland homeowners and their adult children through the details step by step.

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. A reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan: neither you nor your heirs will ever owe more than the home is worth when it is sold. Heirs can keep the home by paying off the balance or refinancing, or sell it and keep any remaining equity. We explain these outcomes clearly to every Oakland family.

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. We encourage Oakland homeowners to include family members and financial advisors in the conversation. A reverse mortgage affects the estate, and the best outcomes happen when everyone understands the numbers before signing.
Common reasons Oakland homeowners choose a reverse mortgage include paying off an existing mortgage, funding in-home care, delaying Social Security, covering a large repair or simply creating a reserve for peace of mind. The right reason is the one that fits your plan.
