Oregon Mortgage Broker

Serving Homebuyers Across Oregon

I’m Matt Jolivette, NMLS# 90661, helping Oregon buyers and homeowners compare purchase, refinance and investment-property financing. I can review conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo and other available programs based on your income, documentation, occupancy and property. We can discuss your goals and the requirements for the options available to you.

What Buying a Home in Oregon Is Really Like

For a home in Portland or another Oregon community, condition and repair needs can affect appraisal and loan eligibility. An appraisal serves the lender and does not replace a home inspection. Review potential repairs and financing requirements before committing to a purchase.

For a condominium in Beaverton, Hillsboro or elsewhere, project eligibility matters alongside the unit itself. Association insurance, finances, reserves, litigation and assessments may require lender review.

For a duplex, triplex or fourplex, rental income may help with qualification when program rules and documentation requirements are met. A second home and an investment property have different occupancy requirements. Plans for seasonal rentals should be disclosed to the lender and checked against local rules.

For a rural home, USDA eligibility depends on the exact address, household income and other program requirements. Acreage, property use, access and utilities may affect financing. Check the parcel’s flood determination and required insurance rather than relying on a general description of its location.

Before making an offer, review income, assets, credit and estimated housing expenses. Preapproval is conditional on underwriting and property approval; it does not guarantee an accepted offer or a closing date.

How We Help Oregon Buyers and Homeowners

I can help compare the required down payment, estimated closing costs, mortgage insurance and monthly expenses. We can review available programs and identify the documentation needed for a closer assessment.

If you are selling a home and buying another, consider closing timing, net sale proceeds and whether the current mortgage must be included in qualification. The right sequence depends on your finances and purchase contract.

Self-employment, commission and variable income may require additional records and an income-history review. For rental property, qualifying income depends on occupancy, documentation and the selected program’s rules.

For refinancing, compare fees, the new term and total interest as well as the monthly payment. Use the Oregon mortgage calculator to explore estimates before discussing your actual documents and property. Results are not approval or a rate quote.

Programs Available to Oregon Buyers

Oregon buyers can review state and local homeownership resources alongside standard mortgage programs. Availability, funding and eligibility must be confirmed for the current program:

• OHCS homebuyer programs: Review current mortgage and assistance options through Oregon Housing and Community Services and participating providers.
• Down payment assistance: Assistance may have income limits, education requirements, repayment terms or geographic restrictions. Review OHCS assistance resources and confirm available funding.
• Oregon Veterans Home Loan: ODVA is a separate purchase-only state loan program requiring a down payment; mortgage insurance may apply. It is distinct from a federal VA loan and should not be described as combining the two loans into one benefit.
• Homeowner assistance: Homeowners experiencing payment difficulty should contact their servicer or a HUD-approved housing counselor about current options. Assistance is not guaranteed and depends on eligibility and funding.
• Program comparisons: Ask a participating provider about current terms, permitted loan combinations and any assistance repayment obligations. A program name alone does not establish eligibility.

All loans are subject to credit, income, property and underwriting requirements. Rates, terms, program availability and assistance funding can change.
