Loan Programs

Understanding your mortgage options







Understanding options is the first step to financing your dream.

FIXED RATE MORTGAGES (FRM)
The most common type of loan option, the traditional fixed-rate mortgage includes monthly principal and interest payments which never change during the loan’s lifetime.

ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGES 
Adjustable rate mortgages contain a feature that allows the interest rate to move up and down over time (subject to limitations). FFB offers Hybrid ARM options that combine the features of both fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgages. These ARM products offer an initial fixed rate term  that converts to an adjustable rate term for the remainder of the loan.

COMPONENTS OF AN ARM
Prior to choosing a home loan, you should know the advantages and risks of adjustable-rate mortgages to make an informed, prudent decision.

FHA LOANS
FHA home loans are mortgages which are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), allowing borrowers to get low mortgage rates with a minimal down payment.

VA LOANS
VA loans are mortgages guaranteed by the Department of Veteran Affairs. These loans offer military veterans exceptional benefits, including low interest rates and no down payment requirement. This program was designed to help military veterans realize the American dream of home ownership.

USDA
A department of the United States government that manages various programs related to food, agriculture, natural resources, rural development and nutrition.

JUMBO LOANS
These loans are for luxury properties or those in more expensive area with a cost of $647,200 or greater. Monthly payments can be tailored to you based on the term selected and underwriting guidelines.

WHAT KIND OF LOAN PROGRAM IS BEST FOR YOU?
Should you get a fixed-rate or adjustable rate mortgage? A conventional loan or a government loan? Deciding which mortgage product is best for you will depend largely on your unique circumstances, and there is no one correct answer.

I could not have asked for a better loan officer to work with. Donna was incredibly fast at receiving and replying to any phone call or email...throughout my home buying process. I had a great first home buying experience with her!
