FIXED RATE
With a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate remains unchanged for the full term of the loan. The monthly payment of principal and interest stays the same for the duration of the loan.
CONSTRUCTION
Building a home can be complicated and frustrating, but financing doesn’t have to be. First National Bank North offers construction loans for primary and seasonal residences or improvements to an existing residence. We will work to approve your construction loan while reviewing your qualifications on the permanent loan when your construction period ends. This can save you time and money to enjoy your new home.
ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE (ARM)
An adjustable rate mortgage usually starts with a lower initial interest rate. After an initial fixed period, the interest rate is reviewed annually and adjusted annually, based on the movement of a specified index. ARMs are subject to a lifetime cap and annual adjustment cap. Your monthly payment changes as the rate changes. ARM loans can be beneficial when interest rates remain steady or decrease, because your initial rate will be lower. If the rate increases, you may adjust to a higher payment as your income increases.
