LOAN TYPES
Secure the Best Mortgage for You
CONVENTIONAL HOME LOANS
Mortgages that conform to established guidelines for the size of the loan and specific financial situation. Conventional home loans are the most commonly used and most widely known loan type. These home loans are often fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM).
FHA HOME LOANS
FHA home loans are designed for people who want to own a home, but don't have enough saved up for a conventional loan. You might have to pay little bit more in the long run because of higher interest rates and mortgage insurance, but this can be an affordable option to buy your dream home sooner.
VA HOME LOANS
Veterans Affairs (VA) home loans are mortgages designed to offer long-term financing to eligible veterans (or surviving spouses) of the United States military.
USDA HOME LOANS
US Department of Agriculture (USDA) home loans are special loans designed for eligible properties in rural areas. These home loans provide affordable homeownership opportunities with the benefits of zero down payment and fixed interest rates.
REFINANCING HOME LOANS
Refinancing a home is a reassessment of your current home loan in order to possibly obtain a better loan term or interest rate. Refinancing your home loan is all about the bottom line: What will it cost and will it make financial sense for you?
