RESADENTIAL LOAN PROGRAMS
Conventional Loans
Conventional Loans are mortgage loans that are not insured by the government (like FHA, VA, USDA Loans),
but they typically meet the lending guidelines that have been set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Typically,
conventional loans have better rates, terms and lower fees than other types of loans. However, conventional
loans typically require a borrower to have good-to-excellent credit, reasonable amounts of monthly debt
obligations, a down payment of 5-20% and reliable monthly income. Conventional loans are ideal for
borrowers with excellent credit and at least a 5% down payment.

Reverse Mortgage Loans
Many homeowners have found that a reverse mortgage loan is a great way for them to take advantage of the
equity they have built up in their homes.
.
A reverse mortgage loan is different than a traditional mortgage. With a traditional mortgage loan you make
monthly mortgage payments, but with a reverse mortgage loan the lender pays you money through monthly
installments, a one-time lump sum payment, a line of credit or a combination of a line of credit and monthly
installments. The money that you receive is dependent on your age, the value of your home and the current
interest rate.
.
One of the great advantages of a reverse mortgage loan is that you are not required to pay the loan back until
the home is no longer your primary residence or you fail to maintain the home, or fail to pay property taxes
and/or homeowner’s insurance or do not otherwise comply with the terms of the loan.
.
If you’re aged 62 or older and own your home you might be eligible for a reverse mortgage loan. Contact us
