• Fixed Rate – A great choice if you are planning to stay in your home for more than seven years. These mortgages offer a constant interest rate and monthly payment.
• Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) – An ARM is an ideal choice if you are planning to live in your home for a short time or planning to refinance in the future. With these mortgage mortgages you can lock an interest rate for 3, 5 and 7 years.

• Perfect for those age 62 and over who are looking to enhance their retirement years by accessing equity in their home to improve their cash flow.
• No monthly mortgage payment is due.
• In most cases, a borrower’s credit score is not used in the credit decision.

A loan is considered jumbo if the amount of the mortgage exceeds loan-servicing limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — currently $510,400 for a single-family home in all states (except Hawaii and Alaska and a few federally designated high-cost markets, where the limit is $765,600).

Jumbo loans are available for primary residences, second or vacation homes and investment properties. These mortgages are available in a variety of terms including fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. A jumbo loan will typically have a higher interest rate, stricter underwriting rules and require a larger down payment than a standard mortgage.
