Loan Programs

Conventional Loan

The conventional conforming loan is the traditional mortgage program. Conventional loans are conforming, meaning they follow the guidelines set forth by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This loan requires mortgage insurance if the down payment is less than 20 percent. A conventional loan is a good option for those who have more money for down payments and better credit scores.

  • Debt to income ratio up to 45 %
  • As low as 3% down
  • If down payment is less than 20% it requires monthly mortgage insurance
  • Loan amount can be up to $548,250

FHA Loan

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance program is managed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a department of the federal government. FHA loans are available to all types of borrowers, not just first-time buyers. The government insures the lender against losses that might result from borrower default. Advantage: This program allows you to make a down payment as low as 3.5% of the purchase price. Disadvantage: You’ll have to pay for mortgage insurance, which will increase the size of your monthly payments.

  • As low as 3.5% down
  • Debt to income ratio up to 55%
  • Requires monthly mortgage insurance
  • Allows for no cost “streamline” refinancing

VA Loan

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a loan program to military service members and their families. Similar to the FHA program, these types of mortgages are guaranteed by the federal government. This means the VA will reimburse the lender for any losses that may resultfrom borrower default. The primary advantage of this program (and it’s a big one) is that borrowers can receive 100% financing for the purchase of a home. That means no down payment whatsoever.

  • Only available to qualified veterans
  • No down payment
  • No monthly mortgage insurance
  • Allows no cost “streamline” refinancing

All In One Loan

No other mortgage product does more to lower costs and maximize the benefits of homeownership.
What Is It?
It is a 30-year HELOC with an integrated sweep-checking account. In other words, it combines your home financing and personal banking needs into one dynamic tool.

How It Works
If you’re like most Americans, you probably earn more in just 5 years than you owe on your mortgage. But cash is a depreciating asset, and despite low interest rates, mortgages cost copious amounts of interest, not to mention, delay progress with building home equity. The All In One Loan is a solution to both obstacles because it combines the two into one fluid financial instrument.

As the nation’s only 30-year draw home equity line of credit (HELOC) with an integrated sweep checking account, it puts your income to work to lower daily mortgage principal and monthly interest costs.

Loan Features:

Fixed Rate

Your rate is fixed and does not change for the life of your loan. A fixed rate will guarantee that your payments will be the same each month for the duration of the loan

ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage)

Your rate will be fixed for a short period at the beginning of your loan, after which the rate will become adjustable and will adjust every 3-12 months according to the market. You and your loan officer will decide the terms of your ARM loan before you close, so you’ll know how often your rate will adjust.

Interest Only

You pay only on the interest, and not on the principle. Your interest only period will last anywhere from 2-15 years. After the interest only period is up, your loan becomes fully amortizing, which means your principle and interest will be divided into equal payments for the duration of the loan.

Combo Loan

Two loans that close simultaneously. If you’re looking for a loan over 80% LTV (loan-to-value), chances are your loan officer will suggest going with a 1 st and a 2 nd mortgage. This is to avoid mortgage insurance, which lenders generally require on any loan over 80% LTV.

Balloon Payment

Most lenders will give you a lower rate for making equal payments for part of a loan and one big payment at the end of the loan. The most common is called a 30/15 – the loan is amortized over 30 years, but called due in 15 years. Balloon mortgages are made with the assumption that the borrower plans to sell or refinance the property before the mortgage iscalled due. One disadvantage to the balloon payment option is that you may be required to sell or refinance in a less-than-ideal market.

Pre-payment Penalties

Lenders will offer lower rates in exchange for a pre-payment penalty, which can be “soft” or “hard” and last from 1 to 3 years. A “soft” pre-payment penalty means that you can sell your home with no consequences. However, if you try to refinance, you will be charged an amount that has been agreed upon. A “hard” pre-payment penalty requires that you pay the fee whether you refinance or sell your home.
