Mortgage
Products
Where there’s a need, there’s a
way.
Building, buying, or refinancing — we offer a
variety of mortgage options, one of which is sure to fit
your needs.
|
Primary
Mortgage Products: |
 |
|
Fixed-Rate Mortgages: |
The
principal and interest payments will always stay
the same for the entirety of the mortgage loan
term. These mortgages are designed for those who
want a consistent payment amount, are on a fixed
budget, or believe interest rates could go up. |
|
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs) |
ARMs
typically offer lower starting interest rates
than those offered in the fixed-rate mortgage
product. This lower interest rate can remain
fixed for periods of up to 10 years. An
adjustable-rate mortgage might be right for you
if you are willing to accept some risk over the
life of the loan in order to save on the initial
interest costs. |
 |
|
Conventional Mortgages |
The
most common type of mortgage, typically provided
by the agencies known as Fannie Mae (FNMA) and
Freddie Mac (FHLMC). The maximum loan amount is
currently $417,000 and usually requires standard
documentation for income and assets. |
|
Jumbo Loans |
The
most common type are loans over the $417,000
limit, commonly referred to as non-conforming
loans. |
 |
These are
products designed for non-traditional circumstances,
including bridge financing, unusual property
characteristics (e.g., condotel), or unique financial
situations.
Low-and/or no-down-payment mortgages, including
government mortgages, are available. Options are based
upon first-time homebuyer status, credit history,
property characteristics, and income levels.
Transactions for single-family and duplex investment
properties.
These are
second mortgages taken out at the time of purchase to
assist with the financing of the home and can, where
appropriate, circumvent mortgage insurance or a jumbo
loan amount.
Mortgage
insurance is traditional in a transaction with less than
a 20 percent down payment. There are a variety of terms
used depending on how the mortgage insurance is
paid. Individual circumstances and property
characteristics will determine which options are right
for you. |
