Loan Programs |
|
Conventional Fixed Rate
Mortgage
You can choose a mortgage with
an interest rate that is fixed for the entire term of
the loan. A fixed-rate loan gives you the security of
knowing that your interest rate and monthly payment
will never change during the entire term. You can get
a fixed rate mortgage for a term of 10,15,20,or 30
years. |

|
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)
The interest rate on an ARM
will vary during the life of the loan, adjusting up or
down. This will consequently make a difference in your
mortgage payments. The ARM interest rate remains
constant for a starting period of 1,3,5,7, or 10 years
(dependant on the ARM term chosen), after which time
the interest rate can change. The maximum amount your
interest rate can adjust is 2% per year with a maximum
cap of 5% over the lifetime of the loan. What's the
advantage? The interest rate starts out lower than a
fixed-rate product, helping you to qualify easier and
offering a lower monthly payment. |

FHA (Federal Housing
Administration Loan)
The Federal Housing
Administration insures this loan. It allows a buyer to
purchase a home with as little as 3% down and is easy
to qualify for. A family member can pay 100% of the down payment
and closing costs as a gift. 30- and 15-year fixed
rates, as well as a one-year ARM are available. There
are maximum loan amounts depending upon the area in
which the home is located. FHA approves these amounts
for each county based on average home prices. |

Sub-Prime Mortgage
For borrowers with less than
perfect credit, we offer sub-prime loans. These loans
have slightly higher interest rates and require a
minimum down payment of 10%. The sub-prime loan is a
great solution for those who want to purchase or
refinance a home while working to improve their
credit. |
|
|
Portfolio Mortgage
For loans that don't
"fit" into conventional programs, but make
sense for borrowers, our 30-year fixed, one-year,
three-year, or five-year adjustable rate
"in-house" programs provide the flexibility
you need. |

VA (Veterans Administration
Loan)
This loan is available to
eligible Veterans only. The Veterans Administration
Services insures this loan and allows individuals who
have served in the armed forces to obtain a loan for
0% downpayment, making it relatively easy to qualify.
Proof of DD214 and Certificate of Eligibility are both
needed. Although this is a zero-down program,
borrowers are responsible for closing costs and
prepaid items. There is also a one-time VA funding
fee, which can be added into the mortgage amount. The
seller can pay for these fees; however, the total fees
paid can not exceed 4% of the purchase price and this
must be stated in the purchase agreement. For example,
a purchase price of $80,000 would allow $3,200.00 to
be paid by the seller. |
