Local questions to ask
- Is the home older? FHA and VA appraisals require the property to meet condition standards, so repairs may be needed.

- For an investment property, what rent and reserves will the lender require?
- What will the real monthly payment be after taxes, insurance and any assessments?
Stockton home loan questions.
Can I finance an older Stockton home?
Yes, in many cases. Government-backed loans require the home to meet minimum condition standards, and the appraiser may flag repairs. Conventional loans can be more flexible for some properties.
Can I buy an investment property in Stockton?
Conventional financing is available for investment properties, usually with a larger down payment and cash reserves than for a primary home. Rules vary by lender.
