Home equity loans call for the borrower to acquire a new loan on an already mortgaged property using the equity you’ve built as collateral. Home equity loans can be used for those looking to pay down medical or consumer debt, start a business or pay tuition. Please contact us directly if you’re interested in a home equity loan. Most states restrict the amount of money one can borrow against their home. Interest rates on home equity loans are generally higher than conventional loans.

Adjustable rate mortgages are loans where the interest rate is recalculated on a yearly basis depending on market values. As interest rates are adjusted so is the borrower’s monthly payment. While interest rates on ARM loans are generally lower than fixed rate loans they can eventually become higher. Various types of ARM loans include Hybrid ARMs such as 10/1 year, 7/1 year, and 5/1 year programs. Contact us for more information on adjustable rate mortgage loans.

A jumbo loan, or non-conforming loan, means any home loan for amounts higher than $726,200. Jumbo loans feature similar loan programs to fixed rate and adjustable rate programs. There are even FHA jumbo loans. The main difference between jumbo loans and conforming loans is the interest rate. Because jumbo loans are riskier for lenders they have higher rates.

Homeowners looking to decrease their interest rate may consider refinancing. A refinance calls for the homeowner to obtain another mortgage loan. Those funds are then used to pay off the original mortgage loan and the homeowner is then bound by the terms of the new mortgage. Depending on your situation a refinance loan could be a great option. Along with decreasing your interest rate, refinance loans can also help you switch from an ARM to a FRM, or take cash out for home improvement, consolidate debt, or reduce your loan term.

FHA loans are insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These loans are popular with borrowers who don’t have enough funds to pay a traditional 20 percent down payment because they only require 3.5 percent down to qualify. Those who choose these loans are required to pay mortgage insurance which slightly increases their monthly payments. Please contact us today to find out if a FHA loan is right for you.
