A popular loan type, conventional fixed rate loans feature a constant interest rate for the life of the life. Generally speaking, monthly payments remain constant. Traditionally borrowers are expected to provide a 20 percent down payment though this is not necessarily required. Contact us for details on down payment requirements. Available terms generally range from 10 years, 15 years, 30 years and 40 years.
FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loans are government-backed mortgage loans designed to make homeownership more accessible for low to moderate-income individuals and those with less-than-perfect credit. They offer benefits such as low down payments, competitive interest rates, and flexible qualification criteria, including lower credit score requirements. FHA loans are popular among first-time homebuyers and serve as a viable option for individuals who may not qualify for conventional mortgages.
Jumbo loans are a type of mortgage loan designed for purchasing high-value homes that exceed the conventional loan limits set by government-sponsored entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They offer the flexibility to finance luxury properties, with competitive interest rates and terms, catering to borrowers with strong credit histories and substantial down payments. Jumbo loans typically require larger down payments and stricter credit qualifications, making them suitable for affluent homebuyers and investors seeking high-end real estate.
Construction loans are short-term loans designed to fund the construction or renovation of residential or commercial properties. They provide borrowers with access to funds in stages as the project progresses, reducing the financial burden during construction. Once the construction is complete, these loans are typically converted into traditional mortgages, allowing borrowers to make principal and interest payments on the property.
Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loans are mortgage products that do not conform to the strict guidelines set by government-sponsored entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These loans are typically designed for borrowers who may not meet traditional lending criteria, such as those with non-traditional income sources or credit issues. Non-QM loans offer flexibility in underwriting, making homeownership accessible to a broader range of individuals and providing options beyond standard conventional mortgages.
Home Refinance Loans, also known as refinancing, involve replacing an existing mortgage with a new one, typically with different terms or interest rates. Borrowers often pursue refinancing to lower their monthly mortgage payments, reduce their interest rates, or access their home's equity for other financial needs. Refinance options include rate-and-term refinances, which aim to secure better loan terms, and cash-out refinances, allowing homeowners to borrow against their home's equity. The process usually involves a credit check, home appraisal, and evaluation of the borrower's financial situation to determine eligibility and the potential benefits of refinancing.
In some cases a refinance loan might result in higher finance charges over the life of the loan.
Commercial loans are financial products designed to support businesses in various ways, including financing property acquisitions, expansion, or working capital needs. They typically offer more significant loan amounts and longer repayment terms compared to personal loans. Commercial loans can take several forms, such as real estate loans, equipment financing, or lines of credit, each tailored to the specific financial requirements and goals of the business.
