Question 1

What is the conforming loan limit for Kings County?

Accepted Answer

Kings County follows the standard conforming limit set by the FHFA each year. Check current limits before assuming your purchase price qualifies.

Question 2

Can I use a conforming loan for a multi-unit property in Hanford?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Conforming loans cover 2-4 unit properties with higher loan limits. Owner occupancy is required for most multi-unit conforming programs.

Question 3

Do conforming loans require private mortgage insurance?

Accepted Answer

PMI applies when your down payment is below 20%. It drops off automatically once you reach 20% equity in your home.

Question 4

Is self-employment income acceptable for a conforming loan?

Yes, but lenders require two years of tax returns. Average qualifying income from those two years — large write-offs can hurt your DTI.

How long does it take to close a conforming loan in Hanford?

Accepted Answer

Typical close time runs 21 to 30 days. Having complete documentation ready at application speeds that up considerably.
