Conventional Mortgages

• Homeready 3% down payment mortgage
  This mortgage is available to First Time Home Borrowers who have not owned a home in 3 years.  The appeal is in the 3% down payment vs. the normally required 5% down payment on other conventional mortgages.  Home ownership education courses are required.  As well, there are credit score and loan limits required on this type of loan.
• Lender paid PMI (private mortgage insurance) mortgage
  You have no monthly mortgage insurance added into your payment.  The lender pays for your mortgage insurance in the rate provided.
• Appraisal reimbursement available
  This is a great add on to our Homeready product.  At closing, your appraisal is reimbursed up to $525.00.
• PMI can be cancelled on conventional mortgages
  When you have a conventional loan, your PMI will automatically be terminated at 78% ltv.  If you would like to explore cancelling your mortgage insurance, you are able to request cancellation when you reach 80% ltv.
