Conventional Loans

Conventional loans at Luminate are a great option for many homebuyers since they are flexible as far as properties you can choose from, fees, and loan structures available.

FHA Loans

FHA loans are designed for low-to-moderate income borrowers who are unable to make a large down payment or have a less than ideal credit score. FHA loans are much easier for most homebuyers to qualify for.

VA Loans

Have you served in the military and are searching for a home loan that’s right for you? Because of your service history, you may be able to qualify for a VA home loan to make your home hunt easier.

USDA Loans

A USDA loan is a mortgage loan option offered to rural property owners by the USDA. This loan option is great for anyone living in the rural areas of the United States that may have a lower income.
