80/10/10

This is a loan which carries a second mortgage for up to 10% of the purchase price of the property. It is usually used when wishing to avoid PMI insurance or to keep your first mortgage under the FNMA/FHLMC limit to avoid Jumbo rates. The borrower puts down a 10% down payment and then finances a first mortgage up to the FNMA/FHLMC limit and a second mortgage of up to 10% of the purchase price.

Jumbo Loans

Offers 30 and 15 year fixed rate mortgage and competitive ARM products. Cash out and No cash out refinance are allowable. Single family detached, Condo's, PUD's and single-family second homes can be financed with no prepayment penalty.

95% One-Loan

One loan with a 5% down payment.

High Debt Ratio Loans

A ratio of monthly bills to monthly income higher than 45% is considered a high debt ratio. Loan programs are available for borrowers in this situation, allowing them to finance the purchase of a home or property.

Second Mortgage Loans

Subordinate to the first mortgage, these loans offer the borrower the ability to get money for home improvement, debt consolidation, or many other reasons without disturbing their first mortgage. Convenient when you have a low interest first mortgage.

Construction Loans

Building a new home can be an exciting prospect - unless you get caught up in a construction loan approval process that is overly complicated and time consuming. With this loan, we will finance up to 90% of the cost of land plus the costs of construction. We offer a one-time fixed rate closing or traditional ARM products.

Investment / Rental-Property Loans

Used to finance 1-4 family properties that will be for investment. Aggressively priced, these programs have many variations. Program may not be available in some states.
