Lending Options
- Conventional Mortgage — a mortgage loan that is obtained without any additional guarantees for repayment, such as FHA insurance, VA guarantees, or private insurance. This is usually given at an 80% loan-to-value ratio.
- Variable Rate Mortgage — a mortgage in which the interest rate is adjusted periodically based on an index.
- Fixed-Rate Mortgage — a mortgage where the interest rate does not change for the life of the loan.
- FHA Loan — a government-backed mortgage loan supported by the US FHA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
- VA Loan — a government-backed mortgage loan supported by the US Veterans Administration.
- Low interest bond loans — a loan for qualified first time home buyers. Down payment assistance is available by utilizing the "bond programs" provided by state and local municipalities.
- Combo loans — a loan for qualified buyers utilizing a combination of a 1st and 2nd mortgage therefore eliminating the need for private mortgage insurance. For example: 80%/10%: or 75%/15%.
- Jumbo Loan — a loan amount over $417,00. These limits are set by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Because jumbo loans cannot be funded by these two agencies, they usually carry a higher interest rate.

Construction Loans
