Loan Programs
Selecting a mortgage may be the most important financial decision you make and you are entitled to all the information you need to make the right decision. Don’t hesitate to
contact a home mortgage banker if you have questions about our various home loan programs.
Conventional/ Fixed
Rate Mortgage
(15 to 30 year)
Application | A conventional fixed rate mortgage provides you with a fixed
interest rate. The principal and interest portion of your monthly payment will not change. This mortgage can be amortized
over 15 to 30 years. Private Mortgage Insurance allows you to have a down payment with as little as 3% of the purchase price. |
Adjustable Rate
Mortgage (ARM)
Application | An adjustable rate mortgage, or an “ARM” as they are commonly called, is a loan type that usually offers a lower initial interest rate than most fixed rate loans. The trade off is that the interest rate can change periodically, usually in relation to
an index, and the monthly payment will go up or down accordingly. |
Construction/
Permanent Mortgage
Application | We will work with you from start to finish on your building
project. As you are in the construction process, you pay interest
on only the money you have borrowed to date. Your permanent
financing is at competitive rates. We will assist you with
lien waivers and provide you a contractor’s statement at the
completion of your building project. |
First Time
Home Buyers
Application | We are a participating lender in the South Dakota Housing
Development Authority Home Ownership Program. This program
offers low down payment options for first time homebuyers
at a reduced interest rate. The Mortgage Assistance
Program is available to assist with the down payment and
closing costs. |
Balloon Mortgages
Application | Three to five year balloon mortgages featuring a long term
amortization which require a full payment of the principal at
the end of the balloon term. Principal and interest payments
are fixed during the term of the loan. |
Rural Development
Insured Home Loans
Application | Rural Development is an agency of the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) and offers loan programs
designed for low to moderate income individuals and families to purchase safe, well built, and affordable homes. These programs offer financing up to 102% of the value of the property. |
Veterans
Administration (VA)
Insured Loan
Application | A VA loan is a mortgage made by an approved lender and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. VA loans
are made to qualified veterans or their unremarried widows
or widowers. Such loans require a minimal or no down payment
and offer lower interest rates. If you are a veteran,
check with your regional VA office to see if you are eligible. |
Federal Housing
Authority
(FHA)Insured Loans
Application | An FHA loan is a loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration
(of the Department of Housing and Urban Development).
This loan has a low down payment requirement
and the down payment can be a gift, a grant, or a
secured loan. Homebuyers with limited savings and low
to moderate income should consider this type of loan. |
Home Equity
Lines of Credit
Application | The equity you have established in your home can be used to
help with those unexpected expenses or short term financial
needs. With a line of credit in place, you determine when
you advance money on the loan and you pay interest only
on the amount you have outstanding on the loan. The only
variable will be the interest rate which may change to reflect
changes in the economic climate. |
Home Equity Loans
Application | A Home Equity Loan is another excellent way to utilize the
equity you have in your home to meet a variety of financial
needs……college expense, vehicles, or home improvements are
only a few of the possibilities. The full amount of the loan is
delivered to you at the closing of the loan. Your repayment
schedule can be tailored to fit your budget and the rate and
term are fixed for the life of the loan. |
