A mortgage team serving Santa Monica

Nationwide Funding Group Corp has held its California real estate broker corporation license since 2007 and helps eligible borrowers evaluate financing for purchases, refinances, home-equity needs, and investment properties across Santa Monica and the greater Westside.

Santa Monica is a premium coastal Westside community with a housing stock spanning high-rise and low-rise condominiums, historic bungalows, and luxury single-family homes near the beach and Montana Avenue. Property type, occupancy, income documentation, equity, and loan purpose all influence which financing structure may fit—not the neighborhood name alone.

Santa Monica housing context

U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts reports a 27.9% owner-occupied housing rate for 2020–2024 and a median owner-occupied home value of $1,755,500 for the same period. These figures describe the city overall and are not a property valuation or statement about any specific neighborhood.

  • VA loans: financing for eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and qualifying surviving spouses.
  • Non-QM and investor loans: options including DSCR, bank-statement, asset-depletion, ITIN, foreign-national, and P&L-only programs for eligible scenarios.

Santa Monica mortgage questions

Does NFGC serve Santa Monica?

Yes. Nationwide Funding Group Corp serves eligible borrowers throughout Santa Monica and the greater Westside, working remotely and by appointment.

Do most Santa Monica homes require a jumbo loan?

Many do, given the city’s high median home value, but the applicable loan category still depends on the requested loan amount, current county limit, property-unit count, occupancy, and program. Some Santa Monica transactions—particularly condominiums—may fit within conforming limits.

Can self-employed Santa Monica borrowers qualify without traditional W-2 income?

Potentially. Depending on the purpose and program, eligible borrowers may be evaluated using tax returns, bank statements, assets, property cash flow, or other permitted documentation. Qualification is scenario-specific.
