Adjustable-Rate Mortgages

Need extra borrowing power?
Plan to move or refinance in a few years?

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages:

  • Assist borrowers in obtaining a larger loan amount
    This is possible because qualifications are at a lower interest rate.
  • Save money in the early years
    Lower initial interest rate than a traditional fixed-rate loan
  • Have a variety of adjustment periods
    (See Intermediate ARMS)

Best for people who:

  • Need extra borrowing power
  • Want to save money in the first few years
  • Plan to move or refinance in a few years
  • Are purchasing or refinancing at a time when interest rates are comparatively high

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (also called ARMs) feature an interest rate that periodically adjusts with changing market rates. ARMs are available in government, conforming and jumbo loan amounts. The ARM allows you to take advantage of lower interest rates in a falling rate environment, and you'll benefit from lower monthly payments. The initial interest rate on an ARM is usually lower than the lifetime interest rate on a fixed-rate mortgage (FRM). ARM interest rates and the degree to which they fluctuate at the end of every adjustment period, are determined by:

Index: Published economic indices such as U.S. Treasury Securities or London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) that are used to direct the adjustment.

Margin: A fixed percentage (usually two to three percent) that is added to the index at each adjustment period

Rate Cap: Typically the maximum amount your rate can increase or decrease per adjustment period (2%) and over the life of the loan (6%). This protects you in case of volatile market swings.

* Due to various federal, state and local requirements, certain products may not be available in all areas. Other restrictions may apply.
** For adjustable-rate transactions, rates are subject to increase over the life of the loan.

Blended Jumbo

Interested in qualifying for a larger loan?
Thinking about a jumbo loan but want to avoid jumbo interest rates?

Blended Jumbo offers:
  • Lower monthly payments
    Lower monthly payments than regular jumbo mortgages and fixed-rate mortgages
  • Lower interest rates
    Interest rates are usually lower than regular jumbo mortgages and fixed-rate mortgages
  • Flexibility
    Second mortgage can be paid off at a later date or prepaid (lowering monthly payments even more) with no penalty
Best for people who:
  • Want to lower their interest rate on a jumbo mortgage
  • Want to qualify for a larger home

The Blended Jumbo loan offers lower monthly payments and buydown options that can help you qualify for a larger loan. The lender makes one fixed-rate loan in an amount up to the conforming loan limit,* plus an adjustable-rate second mortgage on the home you wish to buy. The resulting "blended" payment is often less than the payment you would make on a similar jumbo mortgage, so you can enjoy enhanced home purchasing power. Also, a Blended Jumbo loan makes it easier for you to manage your long-term costs. You can direct extra principal payments toward the second mortgage without affecting the first mortgage. So you can pay off the second mortgage and lower your monthly payment at your convenience.

* Currently $417,000 or less for a single-family home, except in Hawaii and Alaska, where the limit is $625,500 for a single-family home. These amounts may adjust annually.

Purchasing a new home but haven't sold the old one?
Relocating and need time to sell your current home?

Bridge loans offer:
  • Convenience: you don't have to wait until your current house is sold to obtain financing for your new home

  • People relocating who haven't had time to sell their current home

The Bridge Loan is the perfect answer for those borrowers who want to close on a new home but haven't sold or closed on their current home. With the Bridge Loan, your current mortgage won't keep you from buying a new home. Don't delay, you can buy that new home sooner than you thought!

Builder Best®

Thinking about new construction but worried about rising interest rates?

Builder Best offers:
  • Free 6-month interest rate lock1
    The interest rate can be locked for up to 360 days. The lock is free if you close your loan with us wtihin six months; after 6 months there is a nominal fee.
  • Financing Options
    Choose from a variety of mortgage loan products, including 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 Intermediate ARMs.
  • Flexibility
    If the market improves, homebuyers have the option, within 60 days prior to closing, to "switch" to any eligible mortgage product at the current market interest rate2.
Best for people who:
  • Want to protect themselves against rising interest rates while their homes are under construction

Our Builder Best program protects homebuyers against rising interest rates while their new homes are under construction by enabling them to lock their interest rate for up to 360 days. And if the market improves during construction, homebuyers can exercise a one-time float-down option at no additional cost to get the best rate. Or they can make a one-time switch to any eligible mortgage product and get the current rate, at no additional cost3.

1 At initial lock-in and any additional lock-in periods, the borrower is required to remit an up-front fee to be applied to closing costs or refunded upon loan closing. In the event that the loan does not close with us, the up-front fees are non-refundable.
2Product switch option may only be exercised within 60 days of closing.
3Change of loan product or program, float-down, or re-lock of rate will require underwriting approval. One-time float-down option is available within 60-days of closing to any non-Builder Best program; re-lock is not allowed within 30 days of the original lock. If re-lock period exceeds 50 days, applicable extended lock fees will be assessed.

FHA Mortgage

Worried about not qualifying for a mortgage loan?
Concerned about not having enough of a down payment for a new home?

FHA Mortgages offer:
  • Low down payments
    Minimal cash is needed up front
  • Easy qualifying terms
    The FHA Home Loan uses relaxed underwriting criteria to evaluate debt and income. These flexible credit guidelines may enable more applicants to qualify for financing.
  • Authorization to get help with costs
    FHA guidelines allow homebuyers to receive some or all of their down payment and loan fees from relatives.

Best for:
  • Homebuyers who have limited savings and/or moderate incomes
  • First-time homebuyers who are concerned about not having enough funds for down payment and closing costs on a new home

FHA Mortgages help low-to-moderate-income homebuyers purchase homes with low down payments (approximately 3%) and flexible qualifying guidelines. These loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which sets loan limits that vary by area. With an FHA mortgage, you can use a gift or unsecured loan for down payment and closing costs. FHA mortgages are available in fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage options. Also, these loans are usually assumable (along with the current interest rate) by the next owner when you sell your home. This is seen as a strong benefit in certain rate environments.

First- and Second-Mortgage Combination

Want to avoid the added cost of mortgage insurance?
Interested in sidestepping higher jumbo interest rates?

Combining a first mortgage plus a home equity loan offers:
  • Cost effective down payment strategy: bypass the added expense of mortgage insurance while making a down payment as low as 5%.
  • Lower interest rate: purchase a larger home with a smaller first mortgage, avoiding the higher interest rate of a jumbo loan.
  • Build equity faster: the home equity loan has a shorter term allowing you to pay it off quicker.
  • Simplicity: one application, one closing, one set of closing costs equals a two-in-one process saving time and reducing fees.
Best for:
  • First-time homebuyers trying to save for a large down payment.
  • Move-up buyers with high-yielding investments who would rather use a home equity loan as a down payment instead of liquidating their assets.
  • People delaying the purchase of a home because they are expecting to use a bonus, commission check or inheritance funds toward the down payment.
We are all about choices on combining your mortgage and home equity loan.

 
First Mortgage Home Equity Loan Down payment
80% 10% 10%
80% 15% 5%
75% 20% 5%

These combinations are the most popular; however, the first mortgage and home equity product can be used with various combinations in conjunction with a wide array of ARM, Fixed-Rate and Balloon loans. Let us assess your needs and help you choose a loan program that answers your individual needs.

Fixed-Rate Mortgage

Do you prefer regular mortgage payments with no surprises?
Plan on staying in your home for a long time?

Fixed-Rate Mortgages offer:
  • Predictable payments
    There are fixed monthly payments for the life of the loan.
  • Protection from rising interest rates
    For the life of the loan-- no matter how high market interest rates go up-- your rate remains the same.
  • Faster equity growth
    In comparison to other mortgage options such as ARMs and Balloon Mortgages
Best for people who:
  • Prefer regular payments with no surprises
  • Are on limited or fixed incomes
  • Plan to stay in their homes a long time
  • Are purchasing or refinancing at a time when interest rates are comparatively low

Fixed-rate mortgages (also known as FRMs) offer the same interest rate, monthly principal and interest payment throughout the entire term of the loan. We offer a variety of terms in both government conforming and jumbo loan amounts. The longer the term, the lower the monthly payments and the more cash you'll have for other expenses. With a shorter term, you'll have higher monthly payments and you'll qualify for a smaller loan amount, but you'll save on interest costs over the life of the loan and build your equity faster. The fixed-rate mortgage loan is the "traditional" choice and is still the most popular because it offers stability and predictable monthly payments.

FLEX/FIXED® Program

Do you need more purchasing power?
Looking to ease into higher monthly payments?

The FLEX/FIXED Program offers:
  • Low start rates
    FLEX/FIXED is a unique program that "buys down" the start rate of the loan, as low as 3% below the established fixed rate.
  • Flexibility
    More than 1,700 buy-down options at costs less than most other lenders. Options can be used with many mortgage products including FHA/VA and most conventional ARM, balloon and fixed-rate loans.
  • Peace of mind
    Limits rate adjustments to no more than 1% each year and 3% over the life of the loan. This allows homebuyers to plan ahead and grow into the slight increases in payments over the first few years of the loan.
Best for:
  • First-time homebuyers
  • Homebuyers trading up that want to ease into higher monthly payments
  • Those who anticipate increases in future income
  • Sellers or builders who need a tool to move properties (making it easier for potential buyers to qualify) without reducing prices

With a FLEX/FIXED mortgage, a homebuyer can benefit from the low start rates associated with Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM), and the predictable monthly payments of a Fixed-Rate Mortgage (FRM). The borrower using their own funds or seller contributions "buys down" the interest rate of the loan, reducing the initial interest rate as much as three percent below the established fixed rate. This allows first-time homebuyers and borrowers with high debt-to-income ratios, to start at a low, affordable interest rate.

Home Asset ManagementSM Account

Want to manage your home like the asset it is?
Want ongoing access to your growing home equity?

The Home Asset Management Account allows you to:
  • Access funds with card or checks as needed after closing
    Get an EquityLine® Platinum card or use the ready-to-write convenience checks you automatically receive.
  • Work with your growing asset without applying for additional loans
    Increases are regularly reflected in your credit line based on mortgage principal payments and increases in your home value.
  • Set guidelines that suit your needs and your comfort level
    You can choose to decline - or limit the amount of - any increase to your line of credit.
  • Plan for life events and make informed financial choices
    Detailed quarterly reports track your current equity; annual reports define and illustrate any increase in your home asset position.
  • Factor potential savings into your financial plan
    Unlike credit cards or other installment loans, the interest you pay on your home equity line is usually tax-deductible*.
  • Convert all or part of your available equity to a fixed-rate loan
    You pick the right time. You decide on the amount. And you pick a pay-off schedule that fits your monthly budget and is in line with your goals.
Best for people who:
  • Desire the financial control and flexibility that comes with ongoing access to home equity.
  • Want a credit line that regularly reflects equity increases, giving them access to their home equity as it grows.
  • Prefer to finance major expenses using a tax-smart alternative to installment loans.*

The Wells Fargo Home Asset Management Account combines a first mortgage with a home equity line, allowing you to manage your personal finances like never before. Part or all of your down payment - equity, if you're refinancing - is used to establish an available line of credit that changes as you build equity in your home. As you pay your mortgage, and as your home's estimated value appreciates, the equity increases are reflected in your credit line, as long as you've maintained good credit and made timely mortgage payments. You can access your equity line whenever you need it, without the hassle of applying for additional loans. Contact me for details.

*Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.

Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit are available through Wells Fargo Home Equity, a division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Home equity loans and lines of credit are not offered on property located in Texas.

Interest-Only Feature

Rather invest your money in high-yield and tax-deferred savings?
Need extra cash to pay off high-interest, non-tax-deductible consumer debt?

The Interest-Only feature offers:
  • Reduced monthly payments
    With our Interest-Only feature, your monthly payment consists of interest alone for the first five or seven years. This increases your cash flow — making homeownership more affordable.
  • Financial diversity
    Redirect your cash flow to supplement your savings or investment funds, maximize your contributions to 401k or other tax-deferred retirement accounts, or pay off any higher-cost, non-tax-deductible debt. It's your money to use as you see fit.
  • Greater tax deductions
    Because payments are interest-only, you may benefit from larger interest deductions during the interest only period.*
  • Flexibility
    You are welcome to make principal payments during the "interest only" period, but are not required to do so.
Best for people who:
  • Are very focused on money management
  • Want to reduce their monthly mortgage payment
  • Do not intend to be in their homes more than a few years

With our 5/1 and 7/1 Interest-Only Adjustable Rate Mortgages** (ARMs), your monthly payment consists of interest alone, with no principal, for the first five or seven years. Lower payments mean increased cash flow each month. So you can enjoy the benefits of homeownership today, while still funding your plans for tomorrow.

  * Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.
** Fixed rate for the first five or seven years, then becomes a one-year ARM.

Intermediate ARMs

Need a lower rate to qualify for the house you desire?

Intermediate ARMs offer:
  • Low introductory rate
    Net substantial savings with attractively priced 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 ARM options.
  • Predictable monthly payments
    Intermediate ARM options are offered at a low introductory rate that remains fixed for the first three, five, seven or ten years.
  • Low down payment
    Less up-front cash is needed, because our 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 ARM options have down payment requirements as low as 5%.
Best for people who:
  • Plan to stay in their homes for a limited time.
  • Need lower initial payments to buy a home they might not otherwise be able to afford.
  • Are confident their future incomes will rise enough to handle potentially higher monthly payments.

Intermediate ARMs offer the low introductory rate of an adjustable rate mortgage combined with the security of a fixed-rate mortgage for a defined number of years. We offer several intermediate ARMs with down payment options as low as 5% and competitive rates that could help borrowers save thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. Also, the intermediate ARM is available in both conforming and non-conforming loan amounts.

* Due to various federal, state and local requirements, certain products may not be available in all areas. Other restrictions may apply.
** For adjustable-rate transactions, rates are subject to increase over the life of the loan.

Curious about how you can reduce your monthly payments?

Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance offers:
  • Lower monthly payment
    It's cheaper each month than traditional mortgage insurance

Best for people who:
  • Have a down payment or equity of less than 15%
  • Have a 20-, 25- or 30-year term mortgage
  • Will most likely move or refinance in 10 years or less
  • Want to reduce their monthly payments
  • Want the largest tax deduction possible*

Mortgage insurance is necessary if you put down less than 20% on a home. With Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance (LPMI), the cost of the mortgage insurance is included in the interest rate. Although the interest rate is slightly higher with LPMI, this option usually results in a lower monthly payment and a larger tax deduction.* This adds up to considerable savings when compared to other mortgage insurance options.

* Only a tax professional can offer advice on the extent to which interest on a loan with LPMI is deductible.

Purchase & RenovateSM Loan

Plan on buying a home that needs improvement?
Interested in financing both the purchase of your home and its renovations all under one loan?

Purchase & Renovate loan offers:
  • More Money
    The amount of money you are permitted to borrow for the purchase and renovations is based on the increased value of the home after improvements are made.
  • Lower Monthly Payments
    Because your renovation costs are spread throughout the entire term of the loan, your monthly payments may be lower than other financing options.
  • Tax Deductibility*
    The interest on the cost of your improvements, included in your mortgage, may be tax deductible.
  • Speed
    Start making improvements immediately after closing. No need to wait to put in that modern kitchen or new roof. And, no need to pass up a house that's in the ideal location but needs improvement.
  • Simplicity
    One application, one set of fees and closing costs, one closing to attend and one payment each month
Best for people who:
  • Are interested in buying a house that will need work, but want to avoid going through the hassle of getting two separate loans.
  • Need extra financing to improve newly purchased property.

The Purchase & Renovate loan gives you the funds to purchase a home and renovation, all in a single loan. Unlike first mortgages with a home equity loan to fund renovations, the amount of money you are permitted to borrow with the Purchase & Renovate loan is based on the home's value after improvements are made. And it works far more to your advantage than other financing options.

Make the renovations you want...now!

* Check with your tax advisor. Some restrictions may apply.

  • Access to Extra Income
    Receive monthly payments instead of making them. Refinance your home without repaying the debt for as long as you live there.
  • Flexible Qualifying Guidelines
    There are no income, employment or credit qualifying restrictions.*
  • Payment Disbursement Options
    You can secure your loan proceeds in a lump sum to cover large expenses, in monthly installments to supplement your income, or as a line of credit to draw on as you need it. You can even choose an immediate cash advance in addition to monthly allotments. Payment can be adjusted as circumstances change.
  • No Pre-Payment Penalty
    You can repay the loan, at any time, without penalty.
  • Peace of Mind
    The amount you owe can never exceed your property value, so your Reverse Mortgage can never cause you to lose your home.

Best for:

  • People aged 62 years or older who want to borrow against the equity they've built in their homes.
  • Seniors interested in supplementing their incomes.

Reverse Mortgages are specifically for homeowners aged 62 and up who have a low mortgage debt or own their homes outright. The maximum loan amount is based on age, where borrower lives and the value of the home. Reverse Mortgages are a type of home equity loan that allows borrowers to convert some of the equity in their homes into cash while retaining homeownership. The non-taxable Reverse Mortgage funds, plus any accrued interest, are due when borrower sells or no longer uses the home as primary residence.

*Reverse Mortgage borrowers are required to obtain an eligibility certificate by receiving free counseling sessions with a HUD-approved agency. Family members are also strongly encouraged to participate in these informative sessions.
