Loan Options Built Around You
Fixed-Rate Mortgage
Lock in a stable interest rate and predictable monthly payment for the life of your loan—giving you long-term confidence and consistency as you finance your second home.
Fixed-rate mortgages are a strong option if you plan to keep your property for an extended period or want protection from future rate changes. With multiple term options available, you can choose the balance between monthly payment and long-term interest savings that fits your goals.
Best for:
- Long-term ownership with consistent, predictable payments
- Buyers who want protection from interest rate fluctuations
- Purchase, rate/term refinance, or construction financing for second homes
- Budgeting with confidence over the life of your loan
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)
Take advantage of a lower initial interest rate with flexible payment options that adjust over time. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) can help reduce your upfront monthly costs while giving you more short-term financial flexibility.
After the initial fixed period, your rate may adjust periodically based on market conditions. This makes ARMs a smart choice if you plan to sell, refinance, or pay off your loan before adjustments significantly impact your payment.
Best for:
- Lower initial monthly payments compared to fixed-rate options
- Shorter-term homeownership or future refinancing plans
- Buyers comfortable with potential rate adjustments over time
- 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 ARM options
Refinance Options
Refinancing your second home allows you to adjust your loan to better match your current financial goals. Whether you're looking to lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, or change your loan term, refinancing can help you optimize your mortgage.
You may also have the option to access your home’s equity through a cash-out refinance, giving you funds for renovations, debt consolidation, or other major expenses.
Best for:
- Lowering your interest rate or monthly payment
- Switching between fixed-rate and adjustable-rate options
- Shortening or extending your loan term
- Accessing equity through cash-out refinancing (where eligible)
