Mortgage Loan Options
MortgagesFixed-rate Mortgage
A fixed-rate Mortgage offers you the security of having the same interest rate over the life of the loan. A variety of loan terms are available, but fixed-rate mortgages are normally 15 or 30 years.
Adjustable-rate Mortgage (ARM)
Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) may provide you with the flexibility of a lower starting interest rate and initial monthly payment. It is important to keep in mind the rate adjusts based on market rates, and fluctuates periodically based on financial market conditions, which may result in a higher monthly payment. ARMs have an interest rate that is fixed for an initial period (one, three, five, seven or 10 years) and becomes adjustable annually for the remainder of the loan term. For example, a 5/1 ARM would have a fixed interest rate for the first five years, and then the rate will adjust annually for the remaining term of the loan.

Borrowers can make a lower down payment than would otherwise be required and/or pay lower closing costs.

These home loan programs are available to borrowers who meet certain income requirements.
