Riverside is the county seat and cultural center of the Inland Empire, home to UC Riverside, the historic Mission Inn, and a revitalized downtown district. The median home price around $570K reflects strong value for a city of its size and amenities. The historic Wood Streets neighborhood features craftsman and Victorian homes that attract buyers interested in FHA 203(k) renovation loans — financing the purchase and restoration in one mortgage. UC Riverside faculty and medical professionals at nearby Riverside Community Hospital and Kaiser benefit from our medical professional (doctor) loan programs offering up to 100% financing with no PMI. Riverside's large military-connected population (March Air Reserve Base) makes VA loans a significant portion of our Riverside lending. The city's diverse economy — education, healthcare, logistics, and government — supports a mix of W-2 and self-employed borrowers, with our bank statement programs serving Riverside entrepreneurs who need flexibility beyond traditional underwriting.
