Standard documents needed: pay stubs (last 30 days), W-2s (past 2 years), tax returns (past 2 years), bank statements (past 2 months), and photo ID. Self-employed borrowers need business tax returns and P&L statements. We'll provide a complete checklist for your situation.

Yuba County’s housing market sits in the Sacramento Valley with a population of about 81,500, and here’s what you need to know about financing. This isn’t a high-cost area, which means your conforming loan limit is $832,750 instead of the higher limits you’d see in places like San Francisco or Orange County. That’s actually good news if you’re putting down less than 20%, since you won’t need jumbo financing until you’re well above that threshold. The county doesn’t have any incorporated cities, so you’re looking at unincorporated communities and census-designated places spread across the area. Places like Olivehurst, Linda, and Marysville (which is actually its own separate county) each have their own character and price points. And you’ll find some older homes near the rivers and newer construction farther out, and your buying power here goes considerably further than it would closer to Sacramento. Beyer High School and local agriculture keep the economy steady, along with Beale Air Force Base just across the county line, which brings in military families and civilian contractors. That military presence means you’ll see consistent demand for housing, and it’s why VA loans are common here. If you’re working with a tighter budget or need that zero-down VA option, you’re in a market where those programs actually make sense. hasPage: false
