Fixed Rate Loans

Back to Menu

As a home buyer, you can clearly see we offer a wide variety of loan options. Our favorite, and most frequently used is our full range of secure fixed rate loan programs that cover a wide range of loan to value rates. We prefer the fixed rate loan as a primary vehicle because it affords our clients with security and payment stability throughout the life of the loan program. Our fixed rate terms include:

• 40 Year Fixed
• 30 Year Fixed Rates
• 20 Year Fixed Loans
• 15 Year Fixed Periods
• 10 Year Short Term fixed Rate Loans

As you see, the range of fixed period loans is wide. For those who are more concerned about the actual monthly payment rate, the 40 year fixed rate loan can be a very safe alternative to an adjustable rate mortgage, especially when you consider the volatility in the ARM rates once the fixed period is complete. In most instances, the monthly payment will be very, very comparable between the 40 year fixed note and virtually all of the ARM programs.

The 30 year fixed rate mortgage is ideal for the traditional home buyer who meets that traditional character traits of most home buyers. It offers a relatively traditional fixed period, stability in rate and naturally, security. This is perfect for the first time buyer or the seasoned home owner who is planning a new family or has a family already and really needs to ensure a stable home environment.

For the more financially capable clients, we recommend the 20 year fixed rate loan program. The reality is that this program is typically more suited to the needs of the borderline high income household or the average income household who carries little to no debt. Selecting this shorter term traditionally means an approximate 20% increase in housing costs, and we want to insure that we're positioning each client to succeed, not to fail. We want each of our clients to love coming home without the dread and anxiety that a high mortgage payment can cause a family who was a borderline candidate for a shorter loan term.

Finally, for the most experienced home buyer, we recommend the short term 15 year and 10 year fixed rate programs. These are outstanding vehicles to achieving the dream of being mortgage free and equity rich and work well in Auburn, AL and the other cities where we originate these kinds of home loans.

80/20 Piggie Back Loan Programs

Back to Menu

What is a Piggie Back? You really have to be a seasoned home buyer to know the answer to this one. Our 80/20 Piggie back loan program is also known as an 80/20 combo loan. Piggie back is a industry term used to describe the combining of a first and Second Mortgage with a simultaneous closing. Yeah, pretty tricky stuff to know.

The fact is that the 80/20 program allows a home buyer to get a great Fannie or Freddie conforming loan rate at the 80% loan-to-value interest rate with absolutely no Mortgage Insurance in Millbrook, AL and beyond. This can traditionally cut the monthly payment over the first 3 to 4 years on a typical 30 year note by approximately $100.00 to $150.00 or more a month. Combining the remaining 20% with a second mortgage in the form of an Interest Only Home Equity Line of Credit can reduce the monthly payments associated with your loan dramatically.

As a long term financing strategy, the 80/20 Piggie back mortgage package may not be the best loan for your situation. However, if you're looking for a short term 3, 4 or 5 year mortgage, this combo loan process can save you money and typically you will still have a lower payment that a traditional ARM program.

The 80/20 Combo loans typically feature the following options:

• Conforming and Non-Conforming Options
• Combo Loan amount (CLTV) in excess of $1.25 Million Dollars
• Full documentation and limited documentation programs are available (see our Specialty Financing for even more financing options!)
• Owner Occupied and, in some instances, Investor Loans are available
• Fixed Rate or Interest Only Firsts are available
• Adjustable Rate Options are available under these programs

The facts are, if you're buying a home in Alabama, Mississippi or Tennessee, you really should speak with a Lifestyle-Mortgage.com loan professional. We'll give you the right answers to your questions right up front. Call today or just Quick Apply!

97% Finance Programs

Back to Menu

The 97% financing program was originally built around the premise of providing affordable financing options to the first time home buyers. The philosophy behind the program was that 3% down meant the home buyer had a vested interest in the property, and along with closing costs, would reduce the risk of default by the home buyer. The reality is, over time, lenders came to realize that these underlying principles were incorrect. The default rate on higher LTV programs designed for more seasoned home owners were consistent with those of first time buyers.

Eventually, the market opened up as the realization came to be that default rates were consistent regardless of whether you were a first time buyer or experienced home owner, and higher LTV programs were expanded to include home buyers who had never owned before. Today, the 97% LTV programs are geared to lower credit score home buyers, regardless of experience. These programs do require down payment and closing costs to be paid by someone. Luckily, they don't always have to be you, the home buyer. These home loans have been especially popular in high growth markets such as Rankin County, MS, but they are available in all of the states where we originate loans.

Our 97% finance mortgage programs include:

• Both Conforming and Non Conforming Terms
• Loan amounts up to $850K dollars
• Lower credit scores are allowed in most instances
• Down Payment Charity Program Typically Allows
• Seller Paid Closing Costs Typically Allowed
• No secondary Financing is allowed with these programs
• Competitive Interest Rates!
• Both Full Documentation and Light Doc Programs are available
• Typically owner occupied; Condos, Townhouses, Single Family Homes and Duplexes are allowed
• Fixed Rate Programs
• Adjustable Rate Program Options
• In Some Instances, No Mortgage Insurance required

80/10 Piggie Back Loans

Back to Menu

The 80/10 Piggie back mortgage is much like its big sister, the 80/20. It to is a combo loan utilizing a first mortgage at the 80% LTV (Loan to value) interest rate and combining this with secondary financing of 10% to create a simultaneously closing dual loan package with a CLTV (Combined Loan To Value) of 90%. Now, one might ask why go through all that trouble to create two loans when you can just do a single loan of 90% LTV and be done with the whole matter?

The fact is, if you are a home buyer who has sold a home, wants to bank some of the profit, and only needs 90% financing, the perfect scenario could very well be this 80/10 combo loan. The 80% LTV eliminates all mortgage insurance premiums, the 10% Home Equity Loan carries the balance and in most instances, is interest only. Combining both, you have a lower mortgage payment, lower interest rates, no MIP and you bank equity you wanted to for whatever reasons you wanted. Whether you planned to do a Debt Consolidation with the equity, you want to invest in real estate or maybe you just want to invest in a nice nest egg, it's there for you to use.

Regardless, the 80/10 Piggie back loan is just one of hundreds of loan scenarios that might fit your situation. To get further advice from a Lifestyle-Mortgage.com loan professional, we encourage you to call today or use our only Quick Apply application!
