- Scripps Ranch, when that is the house you will occupy
- Kearny Mesa and nearby city neighborhoods
Commute is a household fact. It is not a loan program. The loan still needs occupancy, a current COE, credit, residual income, and a property that can clear VA minimum property requirements.

2026 loan-amount context, not a rate
VA with full entitlement is not capped by the old county VA limit. Conventional files still use the 2026 San Diego County 1-unit lines: high-cost conforming $1,104,000 and baseline conforming $832,750. Confirm on 2026 San Diego loan limits and on your pre-approval. Amounts above $1,104,000 on a conventional file are generally jumbo.
| Down payment | Mortgage insurance | Occupancy | |
|---|---|---|---|
| VA | $0 down is common with full entitlement | No monthly PMI | Primary residence. COE required. |
| FHA | Typical minimum 3.5% | MI applies | Primary residence |
| Conventional | Varies by program and lender | Usually required under 20% down | Primary, second home, or investment, depending on the program |
If VA does not fit, we still shop FHA loan San Diego and conventional on the same household. Already own and thinking about a new first loan? See Refinance San Diego.
How we run the file before you write
We pull the COE. We confirm occupancy. We sketch principal and interest on the mortgage calculator, then add taxes, insurance, HOA, and any CFD from the listing. Writing an offer? The San Diego offer sheet puts the number on paper.
