SoFi Mortgage Loan Types

Sofi offers the following loan types:

• Conventional Loan
• Jumbo Loan

Compared to other mortgage lenders, these products are extremely limited but will meet the needs of most homebuyers, particularly those that are existing SoFi customers. But it is important to note that SoFi doesn’t offer government-backed loans (FHA, VA, or USDA loans).

SoFi Mortgage Refinance Options

SoFi offers three mortgage refinance options:

• Refinance — A simple refinance process that can help you get a lower rate, resulting in a lower monthly payment and more savings.
• Cash-Out Refinance — Get cash from the equity in your home to pay off debt, finance home renovations, and more.
• Student Loan Cash-Out Refinance — Get cash from the equity in your home to pay off your student debt.

SoFi's Student Loan Cash-Out Refinance product is a unique option, allowing you to leverage your home equity specifically for paying off your student debt. This isn't a product that you'll likely see with other lenders, although there may be a possibility that you could use a cash-out refinance with another lender to pay down student debt.

SoFi has teamed with Spring EQ to provide home equity options for homeowners. Through Spring EQ the application and funding process is streamlined, getting you cash-in-hand in as little as two weeks. Accessing your home equity can help you pay off debt, make home improvements, or make other large purchases.

SoFi Rate Transparency

SoFi provides daily updated APRs for 30-, 20-, 15-, and 10-year fixed rate mortgage loans. SoFi interest rates are lower than industry average rates, but the rate you will get is based on a variety of factors, such as your credit history and debt-to-income (DTI) ratio.

SoFi Online Mortgage Application Process

Applying for a SoFi home loan is quick and easy with an entirely online application process. To apply, you will need to complete the following steps:

1. Pre-qualify for a mortgage loan online in just a few minutes.
2. Choose your home loan.
3. Complete paperwork and receive funds.

In addition, throughout the mortgage application process you can receive personalized one-on-one help from a SoFi Mortgage Loan Officer.

On-Time Closing Guarantee

While a specific closing timeline isn’t provided, SoFi ensures that you will close on time with its $2,000 On-Time Closing Guarantee. SoFi mortgage loan officers are committed to get you to close as quickly as possible, but if they don’t, you will receive $2,000.

Certain conditions and restrictions may apply.

SoFi Rate Lock

Through Sofi’s Lock and Look feature, you can lock your mortgage rate for up to 90 days.

HomeStory Rewards Rebate

SoFi provides the option to manage your home buying or home selling process all in one place through HomeStory Rewards, operated by HomeStory Real Estate Services. 

Through this program you can get a portion of your real estate agent’s commission after closing, resulting in $350 to $9,500 (rebate amounts are based on the home sale price) in your pocket. However, you must work with a HomeStory real estate agent to access this rebate.

SoFi Member Perks

If you are an existing SoFi member (perhaps you have an existing SoFi loan or have a SoFi checking or savings account), you can access additional perks and features:

• Get $20 in a SoFi Checking and Savings or SoFi Money account for checking your mortgage rate.
• Save $500 on your mortgage purchase or refinance processing fee.

Certain terms and conditions may apply for either of these member benefits.

No Government-Backed/Specialty Loans

SoFi doesn't offer government-backed loans, including FHA, VA, or USDA loans. These loan types can provide mortgage options for a wider variety of borrowers because they are often designed for low-credit borrowers, and have a lower minimum down payment requirement.

SoFi doesn't offer adjustable mortgage rate loans (ARMs) or jumbo loans, other typical loan products that you might see with other lenders.

Not Licensed Nationwide

SoFi is licensed to originate mortgage loans in all states, including Washington, D.C. But the lender isn’t licensed to lend in Hawaii.
