What is equity?
Equity is the difference between the amount for which a home can be sold and the amount still owed on the mortgage. This important difference represents the homeowner's financial interest in the property. A homeowner can borrow against the equity in his/her home with a home loan and use the funds for virtually any purpose . . . from debt consolidation to major purchases to home improvements. Because the loan is mortgage-based, interest on the home loan may also be tax deductible. Consult your tax advisor to see whether this advantage applies to you!
What is the difference between a fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage?
A
fixed rate mortgage provides a rate of interest that remains the same for the life of the loan. An adjustable (or variable) rate mortgage (
ARM) has an interest
rate that adjusts periodically on the basis of changes in a specified financial
index. Typically, adjustable rate
mortgages start out at somewhat lower rates than fixed rate mortgages. They can fluctuate up, raising the monthly payment, or down, lowering the
monthly payment, depending on the activity of the index to which they are tied. Our loan consultants can discuss the advantages of both types of
mortgages to help you decide which product is best for you.
Does it make sense to
refinance if I recently obtained a mortgage loan?
It might be a good time to refinance even if you recently obtained a mortgage. Given today's favorable
interest rates, a rate lower than the one on your current mortgage may be available and may result in savings every month. By consolidating your existing
first and second mortgages . . . as well as outstanding credit card balances and other debt into a single mortgage loan payment, you might be able to save a
considerable amount. You can also benefit from the convenience of one single monthly payment. Our loan consultants can help you determine if
this option works to your best advantage!
How much can I afford in mortgage payments?
How much you can afford depends entirely on your specific personal financial situation. Our loan consultants can help
you find out exactly what that amount may be. For a quick estimate, use the
Loan Calculator conveniently located on
our website.
These three letters stand for
Annual Percentage Rate . . . that is the total cost on a yearly basis in interest as a percentage of the
loan amount. This figure includes such items as the base interest rate, primary mortgage insurance and the loan origination fee (
points). For more information, see our
APR Information page.
What is the minimum down payment required for a home loan?
Our lenders offer home loans with down payments as low as 2.25%. That would be a $2,250 down payment for a $100,000 purchase price.
It couldn't be easier. Just give us a call, or submit the form shown in the
