Fixed Rate Mortgages

A traditional fixed rate mortgage is where your interest rate remains unchanged throughout the life of the loan.

May be a good option if you:

  • Want the security of a predictable mortgage payment
  • Plan to remain in the home for at least 10 years
  • Do not expect significant increases in your household’s income
  • Want to increase the amount of loan for which you can qualify
Highlights of NIHFCU fixed loans include:
  • Conforming loan amounts up to $417,000
  • 15, 20 and 30 year terms available
  • Seller may contribute up to 6% toward closing costs depending on amount of down payment

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

An adjustable rate mortgage has a lower initial interest rate which is subject to changes in the market. This may result in periodic changes in your monthly payments.

May be a good option if you:

  • Want to keep your payments low
  • Increase your opportunity to purchase a larger or more expensive home
  • Do not mind the potential risk (and reward) of adjusting interest rates / monthly payment
  • Plan on moving out of the home within the next five to ten years
  • Plan to pay-off your home loan within the next five to ten years
  • Expect your household income to increase significantly within a short period of time

Highlights of NIHFCU adjustable rate mortgages include:

  • Loan amounts up to $1,000,000
  • Minimum down payment of 5%
  • Seller may contribute up to 3% toward closing costs
