FAQs
Used to finance a home purchase, a mortgage is a loan where the home itself is used as collateral. The borrower is obligated to repay the amount of the loan, as well as the agreed-upon interest rate. For more information on how mortgages work and all the steps included, contact one of our helpful mortgage bankers.
We offer a range of mortgage loans that enable our customers with bad credit to still purchase a home. These include portfolio and FHA loans. Come into a branch today to see our competitive rates and available options depending on your situation.
Generally, you’ll find that mortgage rates are lower than car or private loans. This is because the home itself is offered as the collateral.
This is entirely dependent on the type of loan and agreed-upon terms. Keep in mind though, that if you use the mortgage loan to pay for closing costs, you will be paying interest on those costs.
