Mortgage Options
You don't have to be an expert to shop with confidence. The home loan experts at American First can do a side-by-side comparison of your loan options. Here's a quick overview of some of the mortgage products we offer:
With a fixed-rate mortgage, your mortgage payment stays the same for the life of the loan. Predictable payments are a plus for many homeowners who want to lock in current historically low rates.
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). The interest rate and payment are fixed for the first part of the term (1, 3, 5 or 7 years). After that period, the rate and payment may fluctuate up and down for the remainder of the 30-year term.
A jumbo mortgage is for home loans more than $417,000. This type of loan can be set up with fixed or adjustable payments.
An FHA loan is a mortgage loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). It typically has a low interest rate and low down payment requirement (3.5%), making it an affordable option for buyers who qualify.
A reverse mortgage is a loan that allows senior homeowners age 62 and older to convert their home equity into cash. Unlike a traditional loan, the investor or bank makes payments to the homeowner.
