The best home buying options for you.
Our mortgage bankers will work with you to find the programs that work for your specific needs.
Fixed Rate Mortgage
This product’s interest rate stays the same throughout the life of the loan. Each month’s payment is equal to the interest on the principal and a small portion of the principal. The advantage of this product is that the principal and interest payments remain the same each month for the life of the loan.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage
The interest rate on an adjustable rate mortgage can vary. The lender can let the rate adjust monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on the type of loan. The advantage of this mortgage product is that the rate and monthly payments are usually lower than a fixed rate mortgage. The disadvantage is that the rate can go up if the index rate increases (Treasury Bill, WSJ Prime Rate, etc.), thus suddenly increasing your monthly payment.
Government-Backed Loans
A government-backed loan is a loan subsidized by the government. This makes it easier for the lenders to offer potential borrowers lower interest rates and high loan to values. Its primary aim is to make home ownership affordable to lower income households and first-time buyers.
