Fixed Rate Mortgages:
Fixed rate mortgages are loans where the interest rate for your mortgage stays the same for the entire term of the loan.  Fixed rate mortgages are available in 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 year terms.  Generally, the longer the term of the loan, the higher the interest rate.  Fixed rate mortgages are great loans for clients who anticipate staying in their home for a longer period of time.  With a fixed rate mortgage, your interest rate and principal and interest payment will never change.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM):
Adjustable rate mortgages are loans where the interest rate on your mortgage is subject to change at some point during your loan term.  Adjustable rate loans are available with repayment terms of 30 years (some options allow for repayment terms up to 40 years).  However, the interest rate on your loan may only be fixed for a period of 1,3,5, 7 or 10 years - depending on the option you choose.  For clients who will be staying in their home for a shorter period of time, an adjustable rate may offer a lower payment and interest rate.  In addition, interest only payments are available on our 3,5,7 and 10 year adjustable rate programs.  These options are great for clients who want to refinance to substantially lower their monthly cash outlay.

Balloon Mortgages:
Balloon mortgages are loans that generally carry an interest rate lower than a fixed rate mortgage.  With a balloon mortgage you have a 7 year term in which to pay your loan off in its entirety or to refinance.  Balloon mortgages have low monthly payments because your monthly payment is calculated over a 30 year term.  However, at the end of 7 years, you will have to payoff your outstanding balance at that time or refinance.  A balloon option is good for clients who will be moving within 7 years.
