Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans

Fixed Rate Mortgages provide peace of mind and stability. Your principal and interest payments will remain constant over the lifetime of your loan. You can choose a long-term loan with lower monthly payments or a shorter-term loan – saving you thousands of dollars in interest because your loan will be paid off faster.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans (ARM)

While many home buyers prefer the security of a fixed rate, an Adjustable Rate Mortgage can be a good choice - especially if you know you'll be moving within the next few years. ARMs usually start out with a lower interest rate than Fixed Rate Mortgages and with lower principal and interest payments for a predetermined initial period. After that initial period, the interest rate and monthly principal and interest payment is periodically adjusted. It can go up or down according to the index, margin and adjustment period/lifetime caps stated until your loan is repaid.
