Types of Home Loans

 

SCHEDULE WITH A MORTGAGE LENDER

Fixed Rate Mortgage
The traditional fixed-rate mortgage has a fixed monthly principal and interest payment with payments remaining the same for the term of the loan. This may be a good choice if you plan to stay in your home for several years. If you plan to move within a few years, then adjustable-rate loans are usually cheaper.


Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM)
The adjustable rate mortgage has an initial mortgage interest rate that may be lower than current fixed-rate loans.  You have the option to choose from a number of adjustable-rate loan products.  This may be a good choice if you intend to stay in your home for a shorter period of time.


Government Mortgages: FHA and VA Mortgages
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) offer mortgage programs in all states.  You can choose from both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages.  Features in the mortgages include flexible qualification guidelines for eligible borrowers, and are helpful for eligible borrowers with limited funds to use as a down payment.


Jumbo
The Jumbo Mortgage is an option for consumers who wish to borrower more than the conforming loan limit of $417,000.

Platte City, MO  ·  Bought a home in June 2016

From Our Customers

"We own a very unique home and my husband and I are both self-employed, so we were prepared for a very difficult situation. She knew what documents we needed to complete, she went to work and closed on our refinance in a matter of a few weeks. It was a very smooth process, she answered our questions about refinancing. As an added bonus, she is one of the best closers I have ever worked with as a realtor. She's a 10 on a scale of 1-5!"

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Aaron is very responsive, got us a great rate, and he made it extremely easy on us with use of technology (only had to physically sign documents for him once). Our Realtor even commented multiple times about how great THEIR experience was with him. Overall, very impressed and would absolutely recommend.“
