100% No PMI Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
This adjustable-rate mortgage removes* costly private mortgage insurance (PMI), making it even more affordable. The rate will stay the same for the first five years, after which it becomes variable—decreasing or increasing every six months according to an index & margin—potentially raising or lowering your payments. Closing costs and other loan-related fees may still apply.

Fixed-Rate Loans
When rates are low, lock them in with a fixed-rate mortgage. Your payments stay the same for the loan's entire term. This is a popular choice because of its predictability and consistency.

Conventional Purchase
Conventional loans are those that are not associated with government programs, such as Federal Housing Administration (FHA), but they offer great rates and friendly terms. More substantial down payments and solid credit are required. In some cases, you'll need private mortgage insurance, which adds to the overall payments. However, the insurance can eventually be removed as you reach an 80% loan-to-value ratio.

Conventional Refinance
Refinancing your mortgage can help lower payments or shorten the loan's terms. You'll also gain financial flexibility for things like home improvements. Refinancing is recommended for those who want to retain the property for at least three years.

Government Loan Programs
There are several government-backed loan programs for borrowers, such as Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) mortgages. Talk with a loan officer to see if one of these is right for you.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)
If you don't plan on staying in the house for very long, or if you're going to refinance after a few years, an adjustable-rate mortgage might start off at a lower interest rate, decreasing your monthly payments. ARM rates are based on an index plus a margin, so your payments can rise and fall throughout the term of your loan. We offer a 5/6-month option—the first numeral (5) is the years a fixed rate will be in effect.
After five years, the rate goes variable—decreasing or increasing every six months according to an index & margin—potentially raising or lowering your payments.
- Low initial rates
- Payment can increase or decrease substantially
- Initial adjustment, subsequent & lifetime caps
