Bi-Weekly Arm
It's
just paying your mortgage payment on a bi-weekly schedule. Instead
of making your entire payment at the end of the month, this type of
mortgage is broken in half and paid every two weeks.
Example 1: Your mortgage interest is 6%. With a monthly
mortgage, you pay more than 60-70% in interest throughout the life
of your 30 year loan. With a $200,000 mortgage, the interest could
end up being $120,000-140,000. With a bi-weekly mortgage, you pay
less interest on your loan which means
money saved for you!
Example 2: You pay your bi-weekly $500 payment on a Friday. In
some months there are 5 Fridays, meaning 3 $500 payments in one
month about twice a year. Using this plan will all you to pay off
your mortgage in about three-quarters of the time it would normally
take to pay off your mortgage-- which means
money saved for you in interest!

FHA Loans
FHA is
the abbreviation for the Federal Housing Administration. American
Family Mortgage Lending is approved by the Dept. of Housing and
Urban Development to originate FHA loans. FHA was created in 1934 to
help Americans realize the dream of home ownership. The benefits of
FHA insured loans are many. FHA loans allow borrowers to purchase
new homes with little or no out of pocket expenses. The main
advantage of an FHA home loan is that the credit criteria is not as
strict, so borrowers who have had credit issues in the past and can
afford the monthly payments should not have a problem obtaining FHA
financing. Please call for details about FHA loans.

No Documentation Loans
Often referred to as a “No Doc” loan
or a “Stated“ loan, this program allows you to qualify for financing

refinance. Many times, self-employed borrowers will choose a No Doc
loan.

Arm Option
The "Option Index" Arm mortgage
program offers you the flexibility of making monthly payments that
make sense and best suit your financial needs at the time of
payment. It offers three different options every month:
- Make a low minimum payment.
- Pay the interest only.
- Make a full mortgage payment
and/or make extra payments against your principal receiving
immediate credit and reduction of your loan AND future monthly
payments.
Now you can choose to reduce your
monthly payment to:
- pay off other bills
- when times are good, increase
your monthly payment to reduce your mortgage later
- invest
- save "rainy day" money
- make low interest, tax
deductible payments and put the difference into high yield
investments
- eliminate expensive
refinancing when rates decline

more than a few years, this may be the perfect program for you. Just
as the name implies, you only pay the interest on the mortgage for

the interest only period, but you are not required to do so. You can
then use your extra cash to invest or pay off other high cost-
non-tax deductible debt. It’s up to you. If you are focused on
managing your money, increasing your cash flow, and reducing your
monthly payment, call today about our Interest Only feature.

Bi-Weekly Fixed
Simply put, instead of paying your
mortgage payment once a month, you pay every other week. Your
payment amount every other week is equal to half a full month’s
payment. Depending on how your paychecks fall, paying a smaller
amount twice a month instead of a larger amount once a month may be
easier for you financially. In addition, on a 30 yr. fixed rate
mortgage, you will completely repay your mortgage in as little as 22
years. That saves you 96 mortgage payments! AFM Lending can help you
put that money back in your pocket where it belongs - call today!

Lower Payments without
Refinancing
You may be wondering how it is
possible to lower your monthly payment without actually refinancing.
If your mortgage amount is less than 80% of the value of your home,
you no longer have to pay monthly mortgage insurance. An appraisal
is required to disclose to your lender the value of your home.
Eliminating the mortgage insurance on your home may save you
anywhere from $20- $100 plus per month.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages
Commonly referred to as ARMs, these
loans feature an interest rate that periodically adjusts with the
changing market rates. Usually, ARMs are at a rate that is fixed for
a specific period of time (usually 2 to 3 years) before they start
to adjust. ARMs are beneficial for a variety of reasons. If you need
extra borrowing power, an ARM will allow you to qualify for a higher
loan amount as qualifications at time of application are at the
lower rate. If you are planning on moving or refinancing after only
a few years, you may want to consider an ARM to take advantage of
the low rate - why pay more into interest than you have to. Your
loan specialist can inform you in more detail about this widely
popular program.
