Portfolio loans can be a powerful alternative to many common lending restrictions of the mainstream - Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA type programs. Because portfolio loans are retained by the lender and are not sold in the secondary market, lenders make their own, common-sense rules, specifically to offer alternate solutions. Below are the highlights. /// In the next issue, a summary of the stipulations for converting a property from owner-occupied to non-owner occupied. /// Comments, questions, service?

Portfolio loan features/benefits
The list below is incomplete because a portfolio loan can be "a fit" in so many unique circumstances. As you read through it you can probably think of a few of your own situations yourself. In addition, because the documentation and verification standards are different, sometimes a portfolio loan is a solution just because the paperwork, or circumstances are not a fit for another type loan. (The documentation requirements for condos for example is a lot lighter).
