Adjustable Rate Mortgage
ARMs can save borrowers money on their loan in the short term by having a variety of payment options in the future. This product is ideal for those who do not plan to stay home for long.
Adjustable rate mortgages provide the borrower with a lower down payment, but there is some uncertainty. The ARM loan is temporarily fixed in the rate at the time of closing.
At the end of the initial blocking period, the rate will change for the remaining loan period, depending on the market rates at that time. Adjustable rate mortgages allow borrowers to take advantage of lower interest rates without refinancing, but they should always be prepared to raise rates.
If you are planning to refinance or relocate in the near future, an ARM loan may be a great option for you, as lower initial rates may offer a cheaper path for borrowers who do not plan to stay in one place for long.

USDA/RD (Rural Development)
The USDA Rural Development (RD) program is designed for buyers of low- or moderate-income housing and savings who finance a home in a specific rural area.
USDA / RD does not require an advance payment, which allows the borrower to receive additional funds to pay the cost of closing or prepayment in the mortgage.
In some cases, the seller may pay part of the sale price to cover the closing costs. The USDA / RD loan can also be used to refinance an existing mortgage at a lower interest rate.

Member First Mortgage FAQs
Why Does My Lender Require Homeowner Insurance?
Homeowners insurance is an insurance policy that protects both you and your lender in the event of loss or damage to your property. You choose the insurance company, and the homeowners’ monthly insurance premium is often included as part of the monthly mortgage payment.
Do I Need A Big Credit To Get A Mortgage?
Not necessarily, but it will definitely help. Depending on the type of product, such as regular, FHA or VA, a credit rating can affect your interest rate. The higher your credit rating, the better the interest rate you will get. The required minimum score depends on the type of product, but usually requires a minimum credit rating of 620.
Do I Need A 20% Down Payment To Get A Mortgage?
The short answer is no! Depending on the type of product and your own right, you can get a loan with a discount of only 3.5% for FHA loans, 5% for regular loans and no down payment for the relevant veterans! Contact your loan officer for more information.
What Is Private Mortgage Insurance And Why Do I Need It?
Private mortgage insurance is provided to protect the mortgage lender from losses that may be incurred in the event of default. Most often required for ordinary mortgage loans, the cost of mortgage insurance is usually paid by the borrower and is most often required if the loan amount exceeds 80% of the cost of housing.
