For buying a home
Conventional loans are the most common type of home loan. They come with built-in flexibility, and down payments as low as 3% if you're a qualifying first-time homebuyer.
But those aren't the only option for buying a home.
FHA loans: FHA loans have more flexible credit score and down payment requirements. We follow the agency guidelines for minimum credit scores and down payments, so you might qualify with a credit score as low as 580.
VA loans: VA loans feature competitive rates and no down payment requirement for eligible veterans.
Jumbo loan: Jumbo loans let you borrow above your county's conventional loan limit.
For lowering your rate
Rate-term refinance: A rate-term refinance replaces your mortgage with a new one. It can be useful if you're looking to take advantage of lower rates, or if you want to change your loan terms and save money on interest in the long run.
Cash-out refinance: A cash-out refinance replaces your mortgage with a new, larger loan and lets you access a portion of your equity.
For accessing your equity
A cash-out refinance isn't the only way to access your equity. If you're looking to consolidate debts, fund major home renovations, or pay for other life expenses, we have home equity options for you.
HELOC: A HELOC is a revolving line of credit secured by your home. Think of it like a home-backed credit card, just with a typically lower rate and a much higher limit. A HELOC is a strong option if you need flexible access to equity for phased expenses.
Home Equity Loan: Need a lump sum for one-time debt consolidation or a big project? Look no further than a home equity loan. Home equity loans have fixed rates, meaning you'll have predictable payments throughout the life of the loan.
