Richmond wraps around thirty-two miles of San Francisco Bay shoreline in west Contra Costa County, with BART, a ferry to San Francisco and neighborhoods as different as historic Point Richmond and the waterfront homes of Marina Bay. We help Richmond buyers, homeowners and investors with FHA, VA, conventional and jumbo financing. VA loans are the strongest home financing benefit available to those who have served, and Pacific National Lending makes sure Richmond veterans get the full value of it: no down payment, competitive rates, no monthly mortgage insurance and limits on the closing costs a veteran can be charged.

Richmond remains one of the most affordable places to buy near the center of the Bay Area, so it draws first-time buyers using FHA and low-down-payment conventional loans, along with investors buying two-to-four-unit properties. Many homes date from the 1920s through the 1940s, which makes property condition, appraisal repairs and renovation-friendly financing common topics. Instead of mortgage insurance, VA charges a one-time funding fee that can be financed into the loan, and veterans receiving VA disability compensation are exempt from it. We calculate the fee for your specific situation so the true cost of a VA loan in Richmond is clear from the start.
