Assumptions and Disclosures

×

• Interest rates and APRs presented are based on current market rates, are for informational purposes only, are subject to change without notice and may be subject to pricing add-ons related to property type, loan amount, loan-to-value, credit score and other variables - call for details.
• This is not a credit decision or a commitment to lend.
• Depending on loan guidelines, mortgage insurance may be required
• If mortgage insurance is required, the mortgage insurance premium could increase the APR and the monthly mortgage payment. Additional loan programs may be available.
• APR (annual percentage rate) reflects the effective cost of your loan on a yearly basis, taking into account such items as interest, most closing costs, discount points (also referred to as "points"), and loan-origination fees. One point is 1% of the mortgage amount (e.g., $1,000 on a $100,000 loan).
• Your monthly payment is not based on APR, but instead on the interest rate on your Note.
• Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) rates assume no increase in the financial index after the initial fixed period. ARM rates and monthly payments are subject to increase after the fixed period.
• These special rates presented here are only available when you pre-qualify and are not guaranteed until lock-in.
• Amounts may be rounded up. Additional fees and closing costs apply. If the down payment is less than 20%, mortgage insurance may be needed, which could increase the monthly payment and APR.
• Calculations are generated by Open Source mortgage calculation software tools using common mathematical formulas. All calculations should be independently verified.
• Please contact a loan specialist to get specific payment examples and information regarding your particular needs.
