Loan Types
Find out what loan type is right for you:
Fixed-Rate Mortgages
A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that remains the same for the life of the loan. A fixed-rate mortgage is the most popular type of financing because it offers predictability and stability for your budget.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs)
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a loan in which the interest rate may change periodically, usually based upon a pre-determined index. The ARM loan is especially good for people that might move soon, since the fixed-rate period is typically 1 to 7 years and could adjust afterwards.
USDA Mortgage Loans
A USDA home loan is a zero-down payment mortgage for eligible rural and suburban homebuyers. Eligibility is based on the buyer and the property. First, the home must be in a qualified “rural” area, which USDA typically defines as a population of less than 20,000. Second, the buyer must meet USDA income caps and residence regulations.
Construction Loans
Construction loans are short-term interest-only loans used while you are building or remodeling. When you're ready you can look into obtaining a more long-term option.
