Every homeowner’s situation is unique, so we believe your mortgage should be unique as well. At First Federal Bank, we tailor our conventional mortgage options to your individual needs so you get the best possible loan option for you and your family.
A conventional mortgage is the most common type of mortgage loan. Simply put, it’s a mortgage with a fixed interest rate throughout the life of the loan. This protects homeowners from inflation and helps make budgeting easier. Many homeowners choose fixed-rate mortgages for peace of mind and convenience.
A loan term is the amount of years it will take you to pay back the loan. With conventional mortgages, common terms are 30-year conventional mortgages, 20-year conventional mortgages and 15-year conventional mortgages. However, depending on your situation, your loan specialist will work with you to find a loan term that works for your needs.
You may have heard that you need to put 20 percent down to qualify for a loan. While this is one option, FFB also knows that this can be a high bar to clear, especially for first-time homebuyers. There are other loan programs available that allow home buyers to secure a loan with low or even no down payments, as long as they meet certain requirements.
While different types of mortgage loans can be beneficial in different situations, a fixed-rate mortgage is often an excellent choice for most home buyers – especially first-time homebuyers. Having a fixed interest rate provides stability and the peace of mind you deserve.
