How Portfolio Loans Work

How Portfolio Loans Work

Show Notes

A portfolio loan is not necessarily a specific loan program, but an approach to lending that some lenders are taking that offers greater flexibility than traditional loan programs like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA or USDA.

Portfolio loans offer flexibility with waiting periods, income documentation, and loan amounts.  These are not “hard money” loans that you’ve heard about, the interest rates and fees fall somewhere between traditional financing and hard money.

In this episode, Josh and I cover portfolio loans soup to nuts, and you should be able to walk away with a good understanding of what a portfolio loan is, and if it’s the right option for you right now.
