Types of Mortgage Loans

Your interest rate stays the same for the life of the loan. Available with 30-, 20-, 15- and 10-year terms, these fully-amortizing loans come with no pre-payment penalty, and down payments can be as low as 3%. A Fixed Rate Mortgage may help you  budget with  a set payment every single month.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) feature interest rates that adjust with time and may be lower initially than fixed-rate mortgages. You can choose an initial fixed period of  3, 5, 7 or 10 years with adjustment periods of 6 months following the fixed period.

Get the best of both worlds, a period of stability before the loan adjustment period begins.
