Fixed Rate
A fixed rate mortgage may be just what you are looking for if you like the idea of stability. It can be a lot easier to budget your money when you know your mortgage interest rate isn't going to change every year. Plus, we offer you a lot of options to customize a fixed rate loan to your needs. Loan amount too high? We offer jumbo loan programs for the homeowner who wants the security of a fixed rate loan and whose loan amount exceeds the "conforming" loan limit. Need the biggest tax break available? Stick with a 30 year term. Kids headed for college in the next decade or so? Maybe a 15 year term would suit you better. Interested in paying your loan off early -- but as painlessly as possible? Check out our Bi-Weekly Mortgage Payment Plan. Would you like to ease into homeownership? Look into our Temporary Buydown options, like the ARM Alternative . Whatever your situation, we can work with you to make sure you get the perfect loan for your lifestyle!

ARMs
We offer a wide range of ARM products, all the way from our One Year ARMs to our 10 Year ARM loans. Those ARMs with periods between interest rate changes of more than 1 year are typically referred to as Intermediate ARMs. Intermediate ARMs can offer the best of both worlds - a lower initial rate than a fixed rate mortgage but also the stability of a fixed rate for a specified period of time. You also retain the opportunity to benefit from any declines in interest rate levels.
We also offer The COFI (or cost-of-funds-index) ARM which is is an adjustable rate mortgage based on the 11th District Cost of Funds, a particularly stable interest rate index. Not only are interest rates tied to this index historically less volatile than those tied to Treasury securities, the start rate for this product is one of the lowest available.
In addition, many loan programs permit the use of temporary buydowns. A temporary buydown is a reduction in the interest rate you actually pay on your loan for a stated period of time.

Affordable Housing
We offer a wide variety of mortgage loan products customized to meet the various obstacles to homeownership faced by our customers.
These unique programs can help overcome obstacles such as:
Lack of cash for closing -
Low-income individuals
Qualifying guideline flexibility
Homebuyers without established credit history
Affordability - below-market interest rates available in many markets
Credit problems - credit counseling available
We also work with various non-profit housing agencies in many of our markets that provide gift funds to first-time homebuyers who meet their eligibility guidelines. Such programs provide gift funds for down payment and closing costs assistance. This lowers the total cash required from the homebuyer's own funds for the purchase of their new home.

FHA / VA
FHA-insured mortgages are in high demand because of the many advantages they hold for homebuyers and refinancers, among them assumability, low down payments and liberal qualifying ratios. Also, FHA borrowers do not have to meet maximum income qualifications, as with many other government programs. Maximum loan amounts, however, are set by region across the country.
As a benefit to veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs guarantees repayment of loans made to veterans with no down payment in most cases and liberal qualifying guidelines. This makes it easy for veterans to finance their homes.
The FHA and VA programs are good for borrowers with a need for:
Low Cash to Close
Home Affordability
Convenience
Easy Qualification
Speed
