FHA Loans

FHA loans allow homebuyers of all income levels to purchase a home with less cash upfront. Although there are monthly mortgage insurance premiums that might not make it perfect for everyone, FHA is often a great option for first-time buyers:

  • Include down-payment options as low as 3.5%.
  • Allow co-applicants to help you qualify for the loan.
  • May allow homebuyer to use a gift or grant for all or a portion of the down payment or closing costs.

VA Loans

Veterans Affairs (VA) loans provide loans for qualified veterans, reservists, active duty personnel or eligible family members. The VA loans come in a wide range of rate, term and cost options. The features unique to the VA loans include:

  • Low- and no-down payment options.
  • Potential for minimal out-of-pocket expenses with seller contributions.
  • Monthly mortgage insurance requirement is waived.

What type of property can I finance with a specialty mortgage?

We can finance all types of properties. Typically, fixed-rate mortgages apply to primary residences for single families. Specialty mortgages may have unique requirements, such as military service. Or they may have income or geography requirements.

How do I know if a specialty mortgage is right for me?

You may want to visit our Online Mortgage Center to investigate the various options, do loan calculations and find links to detailed information on each program. Our mortgage representatives are well-versed in the programs as well and are happy to help.

Will I need a down payment? How much?

The answer is usually yes. But in some cases, your military service or other unique qualifiers may put you in position to go the zero or low downpayment route. How much you’ll need depends on the type of loan you choose. You can look at various scenarios using our online mortgage calculators.

What is escrow?

Escrow are funds included in your monthly mortgage payment to cover your taxes and homeowner’s insurance. Your bank keeps these funds in an account to make payments on your behalf.
