Loan Programs

Five paths to the same front door.

Every buyer's situation is different — so the right loan program shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. Hover through the options below.

01
Conventional

Conventional

Flexible terms for buyers with steady credit, often with a range of down-payment options depending on the loan.

02
FHA

FHA

Government-backed guidelines that can make qualifying more attainable for first-time and repeat buyers alike.

03
VA

VA

Built for eligible veterans, service members, and military families, with benefits unique to VA-backed financing.

04
USDA

USDA

Designed for eligible rural and suburban properties, with financing structured to support qualifying buyers.

05
Jumbo

Jumbo

For loan amounts above conventional limits, with underwriting tailored to higher-value purchases.

Edge Home Finance, LLC is a private mortgage broker and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of or at the direction of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), or any other government agency. Program availability and qualification requirements vary; ask Aaron which program fits your situation.

Beyond the loan

More ways in, if you need them.

Getting into a home isn't always just about the loan type. These two options open doors for buyers who need a little more flexibility.

A

Down Payment Assistance

Many first-time homebuyers qualify for down payment and closing cost assistance through state, local, employer, or nonprofit programs. Aaron can help identify programs you may be eligible for and coordinate them alongside your loan, so saving a large down payment isn't the only path to a home.

Down payment assistance programs are administered by separate state, local, employer, or nonprofit agencies — not by Edge Home Finance, LLC. Availability, eligibility, and funding vary by location and program and are not guaranteed.
B

New Construction Loans

Building instead of buying? Aaron works with buyers financing new construction — whether you're purchasing directly from a builder or coordinating a lot-and-build project — structuring financing around your build timeline and draw schedule.

New construction financing options, terms, and builder requirements vary by lender, program, and project. Ask Aaron which structure fits your build.
Already own a home?

Options for where you are now.

Homeownership isn't a one-time transaction. Aaron works with current homeowners on refinancing, tapping equity, and reverse mortgage options, too.

C

Refinance

Lower your rate, shorten your term, switch loan types, or do a cash-out refinance to fund renovations or consolidate debt — refinancing can reshape your mortgage to fit where you are now.

Refinancing may involve closing costs and could extend the length of your loan. Ask Aaron whether refinancing makes sense for your situation.
D

Home Equity

Put the equity you've built to work with a home equity loan or line of credit, for renovations, education costs, or other major expenses, without giving up your first mortgage.

Home equity products use your home as collateral. Terms, availability, and combined loan-to-value limits vary by lender and program.
E

Reverse Mortgage

Homeowners age 62 and older may qualify for a reverse mortgage, including an FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), to access home equity while continuing to live in and own their home.

Reverse mortgage borrowers must continue to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance costs, and must occupy the home as a primary residence. HUD-approved counseling is required before applying. Edge Home Finance, LLC is a private mortgage broker and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of or at the direction of HUD, FHA, or any other government agency.
How it works

From application to keys in hand.

Every file moves through the same six stages. Knowing what's ahead makes the process a lot less stressful.

01

Documentation

Share income, asset, and ID documents to start your file.

02

Appraisal

An independent appraiser confirms the home's value.

03

Underwriting

Your file is reviewed in full against the loan program's guidelines.

04

Conditional Approval

Any remaining conditions are identified and cleared.

05

Clear to Close

Final sign-off — your closing is scheduled.

06

Closing

Sign your documents and get the keys to your home.

BUILD.

A five-step path for first-time buyers who want their first home to be the start of something — not just a purchase.

B

Budget with clarity

We start with a clear-eyed look at what you can comfortably afford, not just what you technically qualify for.

U

Understand your options

Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, or Jumbo — you'll know why one program fits your situation better than another.

I

Individualized guidance

You work directly with Aaron, not a call center — someone who knows your file and answers the phone.

L

Lock in your plan

Once terms are set, you'll see them in writing, in full, with nothing buried in fine print.

D

Dream home, delivered

Closing day is day one of building equity — and Aaron stays reachable long after you get the keys.

About

Aaron Hunter, Mortgage Loan Originator

Aaron Hunter is a Licensed Loan Officer based in Rockford, MN, working with buyers throughout the western Twin Cities suburbs and the greater Minneapolis–St. Paul metro, offering Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and Jumbo loan programs. Mortgage broker services are offered through Edge Home Finance, LLC — Aaron works on your behalf to compare options across Edge's wholesale lender network rather than offering financing from a single source.

Before moving into real estate in 2023, Aaron spent more than 20 years building and leading teams in business — work that taught him how to manage risk, stay calm under pressure, and earn people's trust during high-stakes decisions. He brings that same discipline to every mortgage file as a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator through Edge Home Finance, LLC.

Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth, Aaron's approach is the same: explain it clearly, answer the phone, and treat your file like it matters — because it does.

Where we work

Aaron lives and works in Rockford, MN, and is a familiar face to buyers in the surrounding western suburbs — Buffalo, Delano, Montrose, Waverly, Watertown, St. Michael, Albertville, and Monticello — as well as Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the greater Twin Cities metro.
