Easy Closing - We promise to assist to help take the confusion out of closing  and give you the right answers with prompt service.  Closing costs for specific services could be required and closing conditions may need to be met when you close a loan.  Please ask your loan officer if you have any questions about a closing condition or cost.

Types of Mortgage Loans:

FCBC offers many different types of mortgage products to help you qualify for the best possible loan.

Fixed Rate Mortgage - have interest rates that remain fixed for the life of the loan.  Generally, you can have a fixed rate of 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years.

ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) - allow the advantage of being able to get a loan with a lower initial rate that will stay fixed for either 1, 3, or 5 years with a 30 year amortization.  Some ARMs will even allow you to lock-in to a fixed rate during the life of the loan.

FHA Loans - are insured by the Federal Housing Authority under their guidelines.

VA Loans - are insured by the Veteran’s Administration and are offered to our patriotic service men and women who have been honorably discharged and meet the minimum requirements.

Rural Housing Loans - are offered by the Rural Housing Service of the U.S.D.A. for low-and moderate-income rural residents.

Construction Permanent - allows you to turn your existing bank construction loan into a mortgage upon completion.

Jumbo Loans - are large non-conforming loans that exceed the limitations set by Fannie Mae.

Refinancing - whether conventional, streamline, or government, we can possibly refinance (replace) your existing loan with a new loan at a lower rate or shorter term.

Mortgage Terms

Escrow - That portion of a borrower's monthly payments held by the lender or servicer to pay for taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance, lease payments and other items as they become due.

Loan to Value Ratio (LTV) = Amount of Loan / The cost or value of the property
Conventional loans with an LTV of greater than 80% and most FHA loans generally require mortgage insurance.

TIL (Truth in Lending) - shows cost of credit at a yearly rate along with the principle and interest portion of payment and breakdown of closing costs.

Prepaids - property expenses paid in advance, and usually prorated at the time of closing to help setup your escrow account.

Fannie Mae - A privately owned section of the secondary mortgage market. It adds liquidity to the mortgage market by investing in home loans throughout the country; specific guidelines must be met on a loan for us to sell it to Fannie Mae.

Origination Fee - a fee paid to a lender for processing a loan application that is a percentage of the mortgage amount.

Discount Point - a point (1% of the loan amount) paid to the lender at closing to permanently buy down or lower the interest rate. It is usually a percentage of the loan amount and can sometimes be paid by the buyer or seller.
