Your Loan Options

Fixed-Rate Mortgage

A fixed-rate mortgage keeps your monthly principal and interest payments the same for the entire loan term, providing stability and predictability. This is a great choice if you plan to stay in your home long-term and want to lock in a consistent rate, protecting you from future market fluctuations.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage

An ARM starts with a lower interest rate for an initial fixed period (typically 5, 7, or 10 years), then adjusts periodically based on market rates. This option can be ideal if you plan to move or refinance before the rate adjusts, allowing you to take advantage of lower initial payments.

FHA & VA Loans

FHA and VA loans provide government-backed financing with benefits tailored to specific buyers. FHA loans are ideal for first-time or lower-credit buyers, requiring as little as 3.5% down. VA loans, available to eligible military service members and veterans, offer no down payment and competitive rates.
