Home Ownership Benefits

A first mortgage offers many potential benefits:

  • Monthly mortgage payments can sometimes be less than monthly rent.
  • With each monthly payment, you're building equity.
  • That equity can be converted into cash with a Second Mortgage or HELOC. 
  • Historically, home values increase over time.
  • You may qualify for a tax deduction.
  • The freedom to create a space you can truly call your own!


What is a First Mortgage?

A First Mortgage is a loan taken out by a borrower to purchase real estate. When someone buys a home or other property, the First Mortgage is the primary loan secured against the property. It takes precedence over any subsequent mortgages, such as a Second Mortgage or HELOC. In the event of default and foreclosure, the First Mortgage holder has the primary claim on the property.

It is important to note that a “first mortgage” does not refer only to the loan a borrower takes out on their first home. Rather, it is the original mortgage taken out on any given home, be that their first home or fifth.

Today's First Mortgage Rates

First Mortgage rates are subject to change daily, so once you find a rate that is an ideal fit for your budget, "lock" it in as soon as possible. That means your rate won't change between when you get the rate lock and closing, as long as you close within the specified time frame and there are no changes to your application.

Are you interested in a Reverse Mortgage?

A Reverse Mortgage is a unique loan that allows you to convert a portion of the equity in your home into tax-free* funds, giving you greater financial flexibility and security for the future.

A Reverse Mortgage can be used to:

  • Supplement retirement income.
  • Home repairs or modifications.
  • Pay for medical or long-term costs.
  • Delay collecting Social Security, for a larger monthly benefit.
  • Establish a line of credit that you can tap into as needed.
  • Purchase a new home.

Depending on your qualifications and eligibility, you can receive your funds in a lump-sum distribution, a line of credit, monthly or term disbursements or any combination of these payment options.

To learn more about how a Reverse Mortgage could benefit you, please contact our Reverse Mortgage Specialist.
