Abjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) generally have lower initial rates than fixed rate mortgages. They offer the stability of a fixed rate for a period of 3, 5, 7 or 10 years, after which time the rate may vary and the payment may increase annually.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage may be the best option for you:

  • if you’re looking to significantly reduce the cost of your mortgage.
  • if you Plan on owning the property for a short period of time.
  • if you Plan on refinancing within the next 5,7 or 10 years.
  • Want the lowest rate available.
  • Consider most Homeowners will not keep their home or mortgage for 30 years.

if these are your plans, an ARM might be right for you!
You’ll receive the lowest rate we offer and save thousands over a traditional fixed-rate mortgage during the initial fixed-rate period with ab adjustable rate mortgage.

30-year fixed-rate mortgage refinance

The most commonly used home mortgage used when refinancing a home today is a 30 year fixed. The lure of the 30 year fixed mortgage is a fixed interest rate and predictable mortgage payments until the loan is paid in full. Payments are more affordable because your payment is extended over 30 years opposed to 20 and 15 year fixed home mortgages. Since the loan term is longer, there is more interest paid over the life of the loan and equity in the home is built more slowly.

20-year fixed-rate mortgage refinance

Although not as common as a 30 year fixed home mortgage, the 20-year fixed-rate home mortgage helps you built equity in your home faster, and you’ll pay off your loan quicker than a longer fixed rate home mortgage. Also, 20 year fixed rate home mortgages offer a slightly lower interest rate than a 30 year fixed home mortgage. If a 15 year fixed mortgage payment, is higher than what your comfortable with have your loan officer go over the monthly payment on a 20 year fixed home mortgage.

15-year fixed-rate mortgage refinance

The 15 year fixed rate home mortgage, has gained in popularity during this period of low rates. Rates at all time lows has made the 15 year payoff term more affordable and attractive to homeowners. With a 15 year fixed home mortgage, your loan is paid off in half the time a 30 year fixed home mortgage. Rates for a 15 year fixed home mortgage are considerably lower, and you'll build equity quickly. Make sure the higher mortgage payment is manageable and you have budgeted properly.

VA

You may be one of over 500,000 military families that can take advantage of a VA refinance loan! A VA loan is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, but the government itself does not originate the loans. Loan City Home Loans is one of the private mortgage lenders you can contact to apply for a VA loan. The VA loan was originally developed to offer financing for eligible American veterans or their surviving spouses in places where private financing may not be available. A key feature of a VA loan is to reduce the burden of entering a loan by not requiring a down payment and making the loan more affordable by not requiring private mortgage insurance. Areas that typically qualify for VA loans in the U.S. are more rural areas and small towns.

VA loans also can make qualifying for a refinance easier because veterans can typically qualify for loan amounts larger than traditional mortgages backed by Fannie Mae. In addition, with a VA loan, the borrower is not required to pay closing costs, as long as the costs don’t exceed 6 percent of the home’s sales price.

If you are refinancing from a traditional loan to a VA loan, you could qualify to finance up to 100% of the reasonable value of your home. If you have an existing VA loan and are looking to refinance, you may qualify for an interest rate reduction refinance, or IRRR. The benefits of an IRRR are less paperwork and streamlined processing. When you refinance an existing VA loan you are not required to furnish a certificate of eligibility, and you may not be subject to the same level of appraisal and credit check.
