Portfolio ARMs stay on the lender's own balance sheet rather than being sold to investors. Because the lender holds the loan, SRK CAPITAL says underwriting exceptions are decided in house.
Underwriting focuses on the borrower's full financial picture. Documentation is straightforward: W-2s, tax returns, bank statements, and employment verification.

Portfolio ARM makes sense for Daly City buyers who plan to stay 5 to 7 years. The 65 percent maximum LTV requirement means you need real equity upfront.
It's less attractive if you're stretching to afford the down payment. The rate adjustment risk grows over time for longer holds.
