One of the most important ways Lynnville National Bank seeks to invest
in the community is through our mortgage programs. It is our goal to help
increase home ownership in the neighborhoods we serve. There are several
ways we seek to do this:
- All loan decisions are made locally by lenders
who work in the community they serve.
- We offer a wide variety of terms,
products, and rate plans to help you purchase your home.
- Our lenders
are knowledgeable and will help walk you through every step of the
process. If you have questions, they will take the time necessary
to answer them. This is the biggest purchase most people will
ever make. It is important that you are comfortable with the process.
Look through our various Financial Calculators to find out what your
payment would be, or how much of a house you can afford.
Whether you are looking
at purchasing a new home or refinancing your existing home, we have
the right product for you. We offer mortgage loans for up
to 30 years. One of our mortgage officers will meet with you one-on-one
to determine what type of loan best meets your needs. Lynnville National
Bank services all loans, so anytime you have a question regarding your
loan you can just stop by and talk to one of our officers.
For those customers that do not qualify for a traditional mortgage, we partner with companies that might be able to provide you with flexible mortgage financing options. These options include 100% financing on both purchases and cash out refinances, in some cases without requiring mortgage insurance. These products may even be available to customers with low credit scores, derogatory credit histories, or high debt to income ratios.
When you're ready to buy a new home, let Lynnville National
Bank take you there! Our lending professionals have experience in guiding
homebuyers
like you through the often confusing mortgage loan process to develop
a loan that fits your needs. To help you with your new-home purchase,
we have outlined four basic steps:

Whether you prefer the security of a fixed rate mortgage, or the flexibility
of an adjustable rate mortgage, Lynnville National Bank can meet your
home financing needs.
What is a Fixed Rate Mortgage?
Fixed rate loans allow you to avoid any rate changes for the entire life
of your loan. You determine the amortization or repayment period that
best fits your needs. If rates are low and will be rising, fixed rate
loans are a good option because they lock in the low rates. Lynnville
National Bank offers fixed rate loans with up to 30 years to repay.
Consider a fixed rate mortgage if you:
- Want the certainty of a fixed principal and interest payment
- Feel that mortgage rates are low and believe the interest rates will
likely increase
- Need to work within a fixed budget
What is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage?
Adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) are set up with an initial fixed rate
period followed by periodic adjustments on the interest rate. Adjustments
have a maximum 2% annual and 6% lifetime cap with the initial rate
being the floor. ARM loans generally start at a lower rate and payment
than
fixed rate loans. If rates are fluctuating, ARM rates are the best
option because they don’t lock you into a higher rate, however,
the rate in an ARM will not fall below the initial rate. ARM loan
types include
1Year ARM, 3 Year ARM, and 5 Year Reset. Consider
an adjustable rate mortgage if you:
- Want or need more home
than you can qualify for at a fixed rate
- Are confident your income
will increase
- Believe interest rates will probably stay the same or
go down
- Plan on moving within five to seven years of buying your home
Fixed Vs. Adjustable Rates
Most loans offer either a fixed or adjustable interest rate, although
some offer you a choice. This chart illustrates the advantages and disadvantages
of both fixed and adjustable rate loans.
|
Advantages
Regular monthly payment amount for installment loans
helps budget planning. Rate is locked in, will not increase during
term. |
Disadvantages
Higher initial interest rate. Can't take advantage
of falling interest rates unless you refinance your loan. |
|
Advantages
Initial rate is usually lower. If rates fluctuate, rate
can decrease, however, not lower than initial rate. |
Disadvantages
Rate may increase during term of loan (although can't
exceed ceiling). More difficult to plan your budget. |
