Private Wealth Mortgage FAQ — California

What are the jumbo loan limits in California?
Conforming loan limits vary by county in California, but U.S. Bank portfolio loans start above conforming limits and go up to $20M+. There is no arbitrary cap — your loan amount is structured around your financial picture, not a government guideline.
Can I use asset depletion to qualify in California?
Yes. Asset depletion divides your eligible liquid assets by the loan term to create qualifying income. Ideal for retired executives, business owners between ventures, or high-net-worth borrowers purchasing in California with significant wealth but non-traditional income.
Can I purchase a California property in a trust or LLC?
Absolutely. U.S. Bank regularly closes loans vested in revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, and LLCs in California. No need to close in personal name and transfer after — we close directly into the entity.
Does Sean work with foreign nationals buying in California?
Yes. Non-resident foreign nationals can purchase California real estate through our private wealth programs. No SSN required. Asset-based qualification available. Typically 30-40% down payment with competitive rates.
Can RSU and stock income qualify me for a California jumbo loan?
Yes. U.S. Bank counts vested RSUs, stock options, and deferred compensation as qualifying income. We analyze your vesting schedule and historical grants — unlike retail lenders who often ignore non-cash compensation entirely.
Are interest-only jumbo loans available in California?
Yes. Interest-only periods of 5, 7, or 10 years are available on private wealth mortgages in California. This maximizes cash flow and provides flexibility for borrowers who prefer to deploy capital elsewhere during the IO period.
How many investment properties can I finance in California?
Portfolio lending means no limit on the number of financed properties. Whether you have 5 or 50 properties across California and beyond, we structure each loan based on your total financial picture. No property count restrictions.
How does rate renegotiation work?
Because U.S. Bank portfolios your loan (keeps it on their books), rate renegotiation is available before funding if rates drop. Sean also monitors rates post-close through Rosie — if a meaningful savings window opens, he'll reach out proactively.
