Loan Options
Conventional
A conventional mortgage refers to any loan that is not insured or guaranteed by the federal government, as opposed to government-insured loans including Federal Housing Administration (FHA), U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Conventional mortgages (whether conforming or not) typically have a slightly higher down payment than government loans; however, this loan option normally provides more flexibility with fewer restrictions.
Conventional Highlights
If you have good credit and stable income, a conventional loan might be the right option for you since it offers:
​
-
Lower interest rates for borrowers with good credit
-
Flexible mortgage insurance options
-
Fewer penalties and fees
-
Flexible loan terms

Refinance
Refinancing may be the right decision if your home value significantly increased or current interest rates are low. You may even be able to:
-
Shorten your loan’s term to save even more money
-
Refinance to a lower interest rate which might also lower your monthly payments
-
Combine a first and second lien to a single loan for simplicity and savings
-
Consolidate debt from higher interest rate credit cards or subordinate financed loans into one loan which may result in lower monthly payments
-
Turn your home equity into cash
Cash-Out Refinance*
A cash-out refinance allows you to take cash out of your home equity by replacing your current mortgage with a new loan that is more than the amount owed. This option can help you pay for major expenses like college tuition, debt or home improvements.
*Appraised property value may affect loan amount.

Jumbo
A jumbo loan*, or non-conforming mortgage, allows you to purchase more expensive homes with a loan amount above the conforming limit set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. In most areas of the country, the conventional conforming loan limit is $625,000; however, the limit is $822,375 in higher cost areas.
If you have a low debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and a higher credit score, but you don’t have enough funds to bring the loan amount under the conforming limit, a jumbo loan might be the right option for you. Highlights of non-conforming loans include:
-
Finance a home over the maximum loan amount established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency
-
Higher purchase limits allow borrower to purchase more house
-
Convenience of one loan for the entire loan amount
-
Primary residence, second home or investment property
-
Fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM)
*Eligibility subject to program stipulations, qualifying factors, applicable income requirements, and property limits.

ARM
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a loan term option with interest rates that can change periodically after the initial fixed-rate period. After this introductory period, monthly payments are susceptible to increases or decreases based on market fluctuations, which can also affect the monthly payment. An ARM could be the right choice for you if you plan on staying in your home for just a few years, you’re expecting a future pay increase, or the current interest rate on a fixed-rate mortgage is too high.
Rate noted is for a 5/6 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) product; 5/6, 7/6, and 10/6 ARM products available. Variable rate may increase after account opening. 5/6 ARM product is a fixed rate for an initial five-year period; following the initial five-year period, the applicable interest rate and monthly payment will adjust every six months. Variable rate adjusts based on the 30 day average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus a margin of 2.75%. Minimum APR is 2.75%, maximum APR is 5% over original contracted rate. Canvas Credit Union NMLS# 410592. Equal Housing Opportunity. Insured by NCUA.
