The program description is not an offer to extend credit. The extension of credit is dependent upon your credit history, loan-to-value ratio, and other factors. Unless otherwise noted, Annual Percentage Rates (APR) and payments assume a $200,000 mortgage, 20% down payment and 30 year term. Except where noted for Investment Loans, Interest Rates stated are for primary residences only. Loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 80% require private mortgage insurance.
1The monthly payment per $1,000 borrowed does not include taxes and insurance. If applicable, taxes and insurance will increase your payment. 2Investment loans are for non-owner occupied residential real estate. 3Adjustable Rate Mortgage interest rates are based on a margin plus an index rounded to the nearest 1/8th of 1 percent. The initial interest rate may be discounted until the first review period. The margin is currently 3.50%. The index is the most recent weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 1 year or 3 year, as made available by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. For example, the 6/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage has a fixed period of six years and every year thereafter the index would adjust to the most recent weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 1 year. ARM Caps: 2% per adjustment/6% lifetime. 4The APR and payments assume a $400,000 mortgage, 20% down payment and 30 year term. 5The APR and payments assume a $1,000,000 mortgage, 20% down payment and 30 year term.
