Jumbo

JUMBO 30 YEAR FIXED

  • Best Choice If:
    1. You plan on staying in the home long-term.
    2. You need your monthly payments to remain fixed over the life of the loan.
  • Advantages:
    1. Level principal and interest payments for the full term of the loan.
    2. Allows for higher loan amount qualification and enhanced buying power.
    3. No risk that changing market conditions will increase your monthly payments.
  • Disadvantages:
    1. Benefits of the fixed rate are not realized until after the 10th year. (10/1 ARM is a better option if loan is paid-off within 10 years.)
