Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)
ARM loans with terms of 3, 5, 7 and 10 years. ARMs allow borrowers to take advantage of falling interest rates without refinancing, however they should always prepare for rates to increase as well.
Fixed-Rate Mortgage
A fixed-rate mortgage provides the borrower peace of mind knowing their monthly payment will be the same for the life of the loan. We offer 10, 15 and 20, and 30 year fixed-rate loans and the interest rate will always remain the same.
Construction Loans
Our construction financing program features a 12 month term to build the home, with 4 draws throughout the process. Upon maturity, the balance of the loan will need to be refinanced into a 15, 20 or 30 year fixed-rate mortgage.
Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
The FHA loan is a great program for homebuyers that may not have exceptional credit, or are looking for a low down payment option with affordable terms.

A home equity loan, also known as a second mortgage, is a type of loan that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity they've built up in their homes. It's a fixed-rate loan with a lump sum payout, and the equity in your home serves as collateral.
While both use home equity as collateral, a home equity loan provides a lump sum with a fixed interest rate, ideal for one-time expenses. A HELOC, on the other hand, functions more like a credit card with a revolving line of credit, allowing you to borrow and repay as needed.

To get started, you can reach out to your lender. Be prepared to provide information about your home, income, credit history, and other relevant financial details.
To qualify for a home equity loan, our two key requirements are:
-
The property must be your homestead: This means the property you are borrowing against must be your primary residence.
-
80% CLTV maximum: According to Texas law, the combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio cannot exceed 80%. This means the total amount of your mortgage(s) and home equity loan cannot surpass 80% of your property's fair market value.
For example, if your home is valued at $250,000, the maximum you can borrow (including any existing mortgage balance) would be $200,000.
These guidelines ensure responsible borrowing and protect homeowners. If you have additional questions, our team is here to help!
