Loan Programs

Not all mortgages work the same way

One of the biggest decisions you'll make isn't about the rate—it's about which type of loan fits your situation. A fixed-rate mortgage keeps your payment steady for the life of the loan, which makes budgeting straightforward. An adjustable-rate mortgage may start lower but can change over time. Government-backed loans like FHA and VA have different rules than conventional mortgages. Each one has real tradeoffs depending on how long you plan to stay in your home, your income stability, and what you're comfortable with. The right choice depends on you, not on what worked for someone else.

Let's talk through which program makes the most sense for your situation.

Tip of the Week

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate so there are no surprises.

Tips for Homeowners

Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams

1.

Wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing real estate scams. Never wire closing funds based solely on email instructions — always verify account numbers by calling your title company at a number you look up yourself.

2.

Loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners in distress. Legitimate help is available free through HUD-approved counseling agencies at 800-569-4287.

3.

Be wary of unsolicited offers to refinance or cash out equity at terms that sound unusually favorable. If someone contacts you out of the blue, verify their NMLS license number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
