Our Home Loan Products Elevate Capital Bank offers several types of home loans, each designed to cater to different financial situations and goals. Fixed-Rate Mortgage: This type of loan offers stability and predictability. With a fixed interest rate throughout the loan term, your monthly payments remain consistent. This option is ideal for those who prefer a stable budget and plan to stay in their home for a long time. Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM): ARMs provide flexibility with a lower initial interest rate that adjusts periodically based on market conditions. This option is suitable for homebuyers who anticipate income growth or plan to move before the rate adjusts. Interest-Only Mortgage: For the first few years, you only pay the interest on the loan. After this period, you start paying both principal and interest. This can be beneficial for those with fluctuating incomes or who want to minimize initial monthly expenses. FHA Loan: Insured by the Federal Housing Administration, FHA loans require a lower down payment and have more lenient credit requirements. They are perfect for first-time homebuyers or those with limited funds for a down payment. VA Loan: Guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, VA loans often require no down payment and offer competitive interest rates. These are available to veterans, active-duty service members, and eligible surviving spouses. USDA Loan: Backed by the United States Department of Agriculture, these loans are designed for rural property buyers and usually require no down payment. They are ideal for those looking to live in rural communities. Jumbo Loan: For those purchasing high-value properties that exceed the conforming loan limits, jumbo loans offer higher borrowing limits with competitive rates.
