This financial calculator is an internet-based application intended to help you analyze your financial needs and is for informational purposes only. It does not guarantee a specific rate, term or payment. The calculations provided are based on a conventional mortgage loan with a debt-to-income ratio of 37% along with information provided by you. The results are not provided or reviewed by America First Credit Union and should not be construed as financial, legal or tax advice. In addition, this data should not be relied upon as the only source of information. Consult an America First loan officer for accurate rates, terms and payment estimates.
Moving to a new place is a big decision and, just like our homes, mortgages come in all shapes and sizes. But no matter what type of home loan you need, America First has you covered. From first-time homebuying to conventional refinancing, we'll help fund your dream house. Read below to discover options that fit your unique needs, use our simple calculator to estimate potential payments, then apply for preapproval.
First-Time Homebuying
If you or anyone listed on your application hasn’t owned a home for the last three years, you may be considered a first-time homebuyer. This means qualification is widely available.
- Only 3% down payments
- Potential grants can assist with down payments and closing costs
- Take advantage of low costs & low rates
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.
- Maintains original rate throughout its life
- Market fluctuations won't affect payments
- 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-year terms available
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.
- 620 or above FICO® scores
- 5%* minimum down payments
- Good for primary residences, second homes & investment properties
- 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-year terms
- No income or purchase-price limits
*Unless applicant is first-time homebuyer or qualified for a HomeReady loan
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.
- Minimum 620 credit score
- Maximum loan-to-value: 95%
- For a primary residence, second home, or investment property
- 10-, 15-, 20- and 30-year terms
- No income limits
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.
- FHA 15- and 30-year fixed
- VA 15- and 30-year fixed
- Rural housing (USDA)
- First-time & repeat homebuyers
- Nevada down-payment assistance
Construction & Lot Loans
Helping build dreams from the ground up. We’ll provide the resources members need to acquire and excavate lots, then create custom housing. Call 1-866-224-2157 for our construction loan experts. Members, including qualified self-builders can apply.
- Low, competitive rates
- First-rate member service
- Flexibility on down payment requirements
Jumbo/Non-Conforming Loans
If you're looking at a higher-priced house or condominium, this is a good choice. Intended for initial purchases or refinances, the minimum down payment depends on your credit score, loan amount, assets and property type.
- For primary residences, second homes, or investment properties
- 15-, 20- and 30-year terms available
- 10/1 ARMs available
- Mortgage insurance required for loan-to-value ratios greater than 80%
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 starts 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 four ARM loans: 1/1, 3/1, 5/1 and 7/1—the first numeral is the years a fixed rate will be in effect and the second numeral (1) means the rate will adjust once a year after that.
- Low initial rates
- Payment can increase or decrease substantially
- Initial adjustment, subsequent & lifetime caps
