Tucson Mortgage Loan Programs
30 Year Fixed Rate &
15 Year Fixed Rate Loans
These loans have a rate and a payment that will stay the same for the entire length of the loan. You make the choice depending on your needs and financial situation. It is the highest rate and the lowest risk.
7 Year Extender &
5 Year Extender
These loans work very similar to a balloon mortgage but with a conversion option at the end of term. The loan provides a set payment for the initial term. At the end of that time the loan is re-amortized and converts to the remainder of the 30 year term at the current market rate with no re-qualifying so long as your payments have all been on time, you still live in the house (no rentals) and the interest rates have not gone up over 5% over the initial interest rate.
1 Year ARM
This loan has a fixed payment for the first year. After the first year the loan may adjust up or down depending on the current market. This loan has the lowest rate, but carries the highest risk.
3/1, 5/1, 7/1 ARMs
For the initial term (3 years, 5 years or 7 years) your rate is fixed. Then interest rate will follow the movement of the index up or down, with certain limits. The initial rate is usually lower than on a fixed rate loan.
30 Year Fixed Rate VA
If you are currently or have previously served in the United States Military you may be eligilble for a VA loan. This loan allows you to finance 100% of the purchase price of your home. You can actually move in for $1!!!
100% Financing
There are several different options available to buy a home with no money down. Call for details on how these programs work. It all depends on your credit score and the verifiablity of your income.
