Mortgages 

Our lending partners are extremely knowledgeable and will help identify the best mortgage product for you and your family. Brief overviews of the most common types of mortgage loans are provided below. However, it is important to consult with a lender to understand both the limitations and benefits of each program available to you.  

Conventional Mortgage: the traditional mortgage loan, generally for those with good credit scores and stable incomes. This option features down payments as low as 3% for certain buyers on most primary home properties, and also allows for the financing of second homes and investment properties

Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM): for those who have a higher risk appetite, these loans generally offer a lower interest rate for a short period of time, typically 3, 5, 7 or 10 years. After the initial time period has passed, the interest rate can move higher or lower. These loans are good alternatives for those who do not plan to stay in their home for a long period of time, or are not sensitive to interest rate changes. Minimum down payments are typically 5% or more.

FHA Mortgage: a great product for those with lower credit scores, this loan provides an affordable alternative for borrowers who may have derogatory credit remarks to purchase a primary home. The minimum down payment on an FHA mortgage is 3.5%. FHA mortgages are not available for second homes or investment properties 

USDA Mortgages: loans for homes in certain rural areas that offer an attractive 0% down. These loans are reserved for those who have a tough time qualifying for other mortgage products and are not available in major suburban or urban areas

Jumbo Mortgages: products for those who are buying higher-dollar homes and will require loan amounts above the conforming loan limit, which can change yearly and differs by county. These loans typically require anywhere from 10-20% down and require higher credit scores
