FAQs - Porfolio Mortgage Lending - Eastern Savings Bank

Q: What is portfolio lending?

A: Portfolio mortgage lending provides financing solutions to help those who do not qualify for the well-known traditional loan programs such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the FHA. Therefore, portfolio loans offer greater flexibility to those with unique situations, which may or may not have contributed to their loan being denied per conventional market standard guidelines. As a portfolio lender, Eastern Savings Bank offers flexible, in-house underwriting with direct communication throughout every step of the process - and best of all - when your loan closes with us, we maintain the servicing; in other words, we don't sell your loan!
