With this peace of mind, you can confidently plan for your future knowing that your mortgage payment remains consistent and manageable.
The Adjustable Rate Mortgages program provides multiple options with a fixed initial period. After that, the interest rate becomes variable and can fluctuate.

Your credit score is one of several factors that determine qualification for a home loan.

While your credit score is one of several factors that determine qualification for a home loan, it is an important measure of credit risk. If you have a poor credit profile, you may want to consider taking the time to build your credit and strengthen your personal finances before purchasing a home. If you have not done so already, check your credit report for any incorrect or outdated items. If there's any erroneous information that's bringing down your score, contact the credit reporting company as soon as possible to have errors removed or disputed. We encourage our customers to speak with one of our home loan experts to help determine the next steps and best course of action to secure a home loan.

Many factors determine your interest rate but being financially responsible and making your payments on time will have a positive impact on your credit score which helps determine your interest rate. Make sure to check your credit report for any incorrect or outdated items along with any erroneous information that is bringing down your score. Contact the credit reporting agency right away to start the process of having the errors removed or disputed.
When you take out a mortgage, it means you are borrowing money to purchase a home. You make a promise to the lender to pay back the money you borrowed, plus the agreed upon interest and will be required to pay each month based on the terms within your loan documents. Remember your home is used as “collateral,” which means you have agreed with your lender to allow a lien against your home and if you fail to abide by the terms of your mortgage, your lender has certain rights to make sure the obligation is satisfied.
With an adjustable-rate mortgage, the initial interest rate is fixed for a period of time generally 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 years depending on the loan you select. After this initial period of time, the interest rate can change periodically, at yearly intervals or in some cases every 5 years. The interest rate for an ARM is reset based on a benchmark or index, plus an additional spread called a margin. Your rate will be determined by adding the margin and the index. ARMs typically have lower starting rates which can help lower your payments or allow you to qualify for a higher loan amount.
A fixed rate mortgage is a home loan that has an interest rate that doesn’t change. That means your interest rate won’t increase or decrease over the life of the loan. Your payment is the same each month, making it easier to budget for. A fixed rate mortgage is one of the two most common home loan options.
The Fair Housing Finance Agency sets limits for home loan amounts. These loan limits vary from county to county. If you are below the set limit it is known as a conforming loan and when your loan amount exceeds these limits set by the FHFA your loan is considered a high balance or jumbo loan. In some cases a jumbo loan may require a larger down payment or have different credit requirements. SDCCU provides many jumbo loan programs that can help with your financing needs up to $3 million.
A mortgage lender is an entity, typically a financial institution like a bank or credit union, which offers financing, known as a mortgage loan, for the refinance or purchase of a home or real estate.
