The Option ARM products
offered today represent the best our industry has had to offer over the
last twenty years. We started way back with the traditional 30 year
fixed mortgage and from there we moved to adjustable mortgages, and then
on too interest only products.
With the price of homes in California the mortgage industry had to come
up with a product that would help people to afford the prices of homes
in our area. This product allows the customer to utilize their mortgage
as a cash flow tool. The option ARM offers four different payments to
choose from each month. The program offers a fixed rate for five years
at 1.25% along with an interest only option, 15-year option and a
30-year payment, the last three payments are fully amortized at an
interest rate of 3.85%.
Utilize the equity builder option by making 26 biweekly payments each
year to pay off your loan sooner and at the same time save thousands of
dollars in interest over the life of the loan.
BENEFITS

payment and may have up to four different payment choices each month.
Greater buying power. Customers can purchase the home of their dreams
and still meet their monthly budget.
A complete financial solution. With the flexibility of the payments the
loan enables each client to fulfill multiple financial goals with one
unique product.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: I want to buy a home, but with the current high prices, I’m
worried. How will I be able to meet my other financial obligations?
A: The Option-ARM is a great new option that gives the buyers the
power to choose a lower initial monthly payment in order to improve
their cash flow.
Q: Why is
this better than a fixed rate loan?
A: A
fixed rate loan carries a higher interest high and requires a higher
payment every month: The increased cash flow provided by the Option- ARM
helps the customer take care of other, more pressing financial needs.
This type of flexibility is not available with a traditional fixed rate.
