The Fine Print

• *The $483.00 payment is based on the borrower selecting the minimum monthly payment option on a $145,000 adjustable first mortgage loan using a minimum payment interest of 4.00% (which is calculated by taking the actual interest rate minus 3.00%). The actual interest rate is 7.000% with a 7.469% APR.

• By selecting this option, the loan has the potential for negative amortization. The minimum payment does not cover all of the interest that is owed for the month and, therefore, you will incur deferred interest that is added on to the balance of the mortgage. You may make the minimum monthly payment for up to 5 years or until your new mortgage balance is 115% of the original mortgage amount. The borrower also has the option of making an interest-only payment or making principal and interest payments amortized over 30 years. For example, if the borrower selects to make principal and interest payments amortized over 30 years, the monthly payment will be $964.69. These terms are available for first mortgage loans. To qualify for this monthly payment, the property must be owner occupied single family residence and a loan-to-value ratio of 80%. Credit restrictions may apply. Rate is variable and subject to change daily without notice.

• Social Security Number is required for home purchase.
