Down Payment Options


Looking for a down payment choice that is less than a traditional down payment? One of our down payment programs can allow you to limit the amount of cash you will need for closing.
 
Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance
With our Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance(LPMI), the cost of mortgage insurance is included in the interest rate. This provides you with a lower overall monthly payment than would traditionally be required with other mortgage insurance options. It also potentially provides you with a larger tax deduction because the cost of the insurance is reflected in your interest rate versus being treated as a separate non-tax deductible monthly fee.

Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance is recommended to borrowers who:
     
 
Are interested in making a smaller down payment or have low equity in their current property.
 
Want to reduce their overall monthly payments while potentially increasing their tax deductibility.
   
Combo Loan Option
  By combining a first mortgage and a home equity loan, you can bypass the added expense of mortgage insurance while making a lower down payment. When purchasing a larger home with a smaller first mortgage, this can be an effective strategy to lower your first mortgage interest rate. With the combo loan option, you may avoid the higher interest rate typically associated with a jumbo loan.

A Combo Loan is recommended to borrowers who:
     
 
Are first-time homebuyers and may not have the available funds to make a large down payment.
 
Have investments and would rather use a home equity loan as a down payment instead of liquidating their investments.
 
Look to reduce their overall monthly mortgage payment by eliminating mortgage insurance requirements.
   
Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest expense and tax related questions.
