- Conventional Conforming Flexible 97 & 100 Mortgages -- first mortgages with lower down payments of 0% and 3% respectively.
- Interest-only mortgages with fixed rates -- great if you want lower rates and expect your home to increase in value. These are available in 15/15, which means 15 years interest-only payments based on a 30 year amortization with the remaining 15 years of Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance (PITI) based on a 15 year amortization, and in 10/20, which means 10 years interest-only payments and 20 years PITI.
- Interest-only mortgages with adjustable rates -- great if you want lower rates and expect your home to increase in value. These are available in 3/1, which is 3 years interest-only at a fixed rate followed by PITI at an adjustable rate, and 5/1, which is 5 years interest-only at a fixed rate followed by PITI at an adjustable rate.
- Bridge loans -- If you have enough equity in your current home, a bridge loan is a special loan that allows you to get some quick cash so you can make a down payment and buy a new home, until you secure permanent financing. Bridge loans are short-term funds that “bridge” the gap between today’s need for immediate cash and the final closing of a long-term financing package.
- Vacant land loans -- Special financing available for the purchase or refinancing of improved or unimproved vacant properties.
