The Right Program Beats the “Best Rate”
Rates get the headlines, but the program you’re placed in decides your down payment, your mortgage insurance, and whether your file sails through underwriting or stalls in it. Because Price Mortgage Group is a broker, not a bank, we’re free to match you to whichever program actually fits your life, then make dozens of lenders compete on price within it. Here’s the full menu.

Conventional Loans
The workhorse of Oklahoma home financing. Conventional loans follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, up to the 2026 conforming limit of $832,750, and reward solid credit with strong pricing. Qualifying first-time buyers can put as little as 3% down, and unlike FHA, the mortgage insurance isn’t forever: once you reach 20% equity, PMI can be removed, trimming your payment for good.
Terms run from 10 to 30 years, and conventional financing works for primary homes, second homes, and investment properties alike. Credit guidelines generally start around 620, though pricing improves as your score climbs. Because we shop your file across dozens of wholesale lenders, we compare conventional offers side by side instead of accepting one bank’s rate sheet, same you, better terms.
For Those Who Served
VA Loans
With Tinker Air Force Base down the road and a proud veteran community across the OKC metro, VA loans are close to our hearts. Eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and surviving spouses can buy with $0 down, no monthly mortgage insurance, and no prepayment penalty, and with full entitlement, there’s generally no loan limit at all.
The VA funding fee can be rolled into the loan, sellers can contribute toward closing costs, and Oklahoma’s affordable home prices make the zero-down benefit stretch further here than almost anywhere in the country. There’s no official minimum credit score from the VA itself, lender guidelines vary, which is exactly why having a broker shop multiple VA lenders matters. We’ll pull your Certificate of Eligibility and walk with you start to finish.
First-Time Buyer Favorite
FHA Loans
FHA loans put homeownership within reach: 3.5% down with credit scores of 580 and up, more forgiving debt-to-income guidelines, and gift funds welcome for the down payment. For 2026, FHA financing covers loans up to $541,287 in every Oklahoma county, plenty of room in most Edmond and Oklahoma City neighborhoods.
If your credit is still recovering or your savings are modest, FHA is often the difference between renting another year and owning now. Many of our FHA buyers layer on Oklahoma down payment assistance to shrink their cash to close even further, and we help plan the longer game too, like refinancing out of FHA mortgage insurance once your equity and credit have grown.
100% Financing
USDA Rural Development Loans
The best-kept secret in Oklahoma home financing. USDA loans offer true 100% financing, no down payment, on eligible rural and suburban properties, and you might be surprised how much of the area around the OKC metro qualifies. Eligibility is address-specific, so before you rule anything in or out, let us check the USDA map for the exact property you’re considering.
Instead of monthly PMI, USDA currently charges a 1% upfront guarantee fee (set by USDA and subject to change) that can be financed into the loan, plus a modest annual fee that’s typically cheaper than FHA’s mortgage insurance. Household income limits apply and vary by county and family size, many two-income Oklahoma households still fit comfortably under them, which surprises a lot of buyers who assumed they earned too much.
If you’re drawn to acreage, small-town living, or a new build on the growing edges of the metro, USDA can get you the keys while your savings stay in the bank. We’ll pair the eligibility check with real payment numbers so you can compare it against FHA and conventional on equal footing.
Above the Conforming Limit
Jumbo Loans
When your loan amount tops the 2026 conforming limit of $832,750, you’re in jumbo territory. Jumbo loans aren’t backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, so every lender writes its own rules, which is exactly where an independent broker earns its keep. We shop your scenario across multiple jumbo investors instead of asking a single bank to make an exception.
Expect closer scrutiny than a conforming file: credit scores of roughly 680 and up, fuller documentation, and cash reserves after closing are typical, with down payment requirements that vary by lender and loan size. In return, the wholesale jumbo market is genuinely competitive, and well-qualified borrowers are often pleasantly surprised by the pricing.
From Oak Tree and Deer Creek estates to executive homes across Edmond and north Oklahoma City, we’ve placed jumbo files that big banks slow-walked. Bring us your scenario and we’ll tell you plainly which investors want it, and on what terms.
Already Own?
Refinancing, When It Makes Sense (and When It Doesn’t)
A rate-and-term refinance replaces your current mortgage to lower the rate, shorten the term, or remove PMI. A cash-out refinance taps your equity for renovations, debt consolidation, or your next investment. Both can be smart moves, and both can be mistakes if the math doesn’t work.
Here’s our honest framework: add up the closing costs, divide by your monthly savings, and you get your break-even point in months. If you’ll keep the home well past break-even, refinancing likely makes sense. If you’d be resetting a 30-year clock late in your loan, or rolling short-term debt onto your house without a repayment plan, we’ll tell you so, even when that means no loan for us today. That’s how you earn clients for life.
Because we broker refinances across dozens of lenders too, you get compared offers, not a single pitch. Run your own numbers with our mortgage calculators, then let a licensed loan officer sanity-check the result, no pressure, no obligation.
Investors & Self-Employed
DSCR & Non-QM Loans
Oklahoma’s rents and price points keep drawing real estate investors, and DSCR loans are built for them. Instead of your personal tax returns, a DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loan qualifies on the property itself: if the market rent covers the mortgage payment, the deal can stand on its own cash flow. No W-2s, no pay stubs, and vesting in an LLC is routine.
Self-employed with a healthy business but a tax return that doesn’t tell the whole story? Bank-statement loans use 12–24 months of business or personal deposits to document income instead. Other Non-QM options include asset-based qualifying and programs for borrowers with a recent credit event.
Non-QM pricing runs somewhat higher than agency loans, that’s the trade-off for the flexibility, and we’ll show you the difference honestly before you commit. Our excellent relationships with DSCR and Non-QM investors mean we know which lender wants your exact file, whether it’s your first rental or your fifteenth door.

Program Questions
Loan Program FAQs
Which loan program is right for me?
It depends on your credit profile, savings, the property itself, and how long you plan to keep it. As a rough map: strong credit usually points to conventional; thinner credit or smaller savings points to FHA; military service points to VA; rural and edge-of-metro addresses may qualify for USDA; and investors or the self-employed often fit DSCR or bank-statement loans. The honest answer is that we price your actual scenario across several programs and show you the trade-offs side by side. Start a pre-approval and we’ll do exactly that.
Can I combine down payment assistance with these programs?
Often, yes. Where eligibility lines up, OHFA Gold (3.5% of the loan amount for qualifying first-time buyers) and REI Oklahoma (up to 5% of the purchase price) can layer onto FHA, VA, USDA, or conventional loans to shrink your cash to close. OHFA also discounts rates for its Shield, 4Teachers, and state-employee programs. There’s more detail on our Oklahoma City home loans page.
What’s the difference between a mortgage broker and a bank?
A bank can only offer its own products at its own pricing. A broker sends the same file to many wholesale lenders and makes them compete on price and terms, more programs to choose from, room for tricky files, and pricing pressure that works in your favor. Same borrower, same paperwork, more options.
What documents do I need to apply?
For most programs: 30 days of pay stubs, two years of W-2s, two months of bank statements, and photo ID. Self-employed borrowers typically add two years of tax returns, or skip tax returns entirely with a bank-statement or DSCR loan. VA buyers need a Certificate of Eligibility, which we can usually pull for you in minutes. Once we know your program, your loan officer sends a precise checklist so nothing gets missed.
Not sure which program fits?
Tell us your situation and we’ll price it across dozens of wholesale lenders, usually the same business day. No pressure, no obligation, and honest answers either way.
