First Federal keeps all real estate loans in-house, meaning we do not sell your loan to a large multi-national holding company or regional financial institution.  Rather, your loan is kept with us, serviced by us, and the funds you repay each month are reinvested in your local community, rather than some large city on a coast.  This is the mission statement we operate under...service to our community.  By keeping your loan in-house, you have immediate access to your loan officer, your loan file, information about your account, and you can have your questions answered promptly, professionally, and by a person you probably know!  We do not have answering machines, so when you call, you will be greeted by a friendly voice with a real person behind that voice, anxious to help.  Come visit First Federal today and help our community grow.

CONVENTIONAL LOANS

We offer loans to finance your home purchase with 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 year maturities.  You decide what works best for you.  We offer two types of conventional mortgage loans:  Fixed rate loans and balloon loans.

Fixed Rate Loans

15-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage

This loan is fully amortized over a 15-year period and features constant monthly payments. It offers all the advantages of the 30-year loan, plus a lower interest rate — and you'll own your home twice as fast. The disadvantage is that, with a 15-year loan, you commit to a higher monthly payment. Many borrowers opt for a 30-year maturity and voluntarily make larger payments that will pay off their loan in 15 years. This approach combines the benefit of a shorter term with the flexibility to adjust the payment, if needed, and may provide a better alternative to committing to a higher monthly payment for the entire loan term.

10-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage

10-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage products are also available. This loan is fully amortized over a 10-year period and features constant monthly payments. It offers all of the advantages of the 30-year loan, plus a lower interest rate — and you'll own your home sooner. The disadvantage is that, with a 10-year loan, you commit to a higher monthly payment. Many borrowers opt for a 30-year loan and voluntarily make larger payments that will pay off their loan in 10 years. This approach is often safer than committing to a higher monthly payment.

Balloon Loans

If you’re looking to lock into a competitive rate but for a shorter term (10 year fixed rate or 15 year fixed rate), a Balloon Loan will give you the flexibility you need. When it’s time to renew your loan, you’ll have the opportunity to lock in a fixed rate or renew your loan for another short term—possibly at a lower rate.  Balloon loans offer the flexibility of locking in an interest rate for either 10 or 15 years, but can still be amortized up to 30 years.  This is our specialty product, and can be amortized over a period of up to 30 years.  Our balloon rates are typically lower than the 30 year fixed rate FNMA loan rates that are sold on the secondary market, and involve a simpler process to qualify.  We invite you to compare rates today and see if a balloon option might be right for you!

Below is an example of how a balloon loan might compare to a 30 year fixed rate FNMA loan: (actual rates may vary)

CONSTUCTION LOANS

Time for your dream home to materialize? With a short-term construction loan you’ll have the money you need whenever your contractor needs it throughout the entire process. We can also roll your short-term loan into a mortgage after your new home is completed.  Construction loans vary from 6-9 months typically, and are disbursed either through the bank, or a title company.  Call today for details!

REFINANCINGS

It doesn’t matter where you have your mortgage. By refinancing with us, you can either reduce the number of years it will take to repay, decrease your monthly loan payment, or pull out a little cash for family needs.

SECOND MORTGAGES

Need a little extra cash for that remodeling project?  How about a second mortgage?  Second mortgage loans have liens subordinate to a prior first mortgage lien.  They offer the benefit of a formal repayment plan, competitive rates, tax advantages, and a simplified underwriting process since we would typically hold the first mortgage.

RESIDENTIAL LOT LOANS

Need a loan to finance the purchase of a lot for your future dream home, contact a loan officer today for details.
