For most people, a home is by far their biggest investment. Because so much of your hard-earned money is tied up in a mortgage, it’s crucial to work with a financial institution that will be a true partner. F&M Bank has taken the often-intimidating mortgage process and made it convenient and easy to understand. Our experienced mortgage team provides step-by-step guidance, starting with selecting the right loan and ending with your last payment. All loan decisions are made locally, allowing our team the ability to customize loans based on your individual needs and find a loan solution that is fair and best for you.
Fixed-Rate Mortgages
A fixed-rate mortgage locks in your interest rate for the life of the loan. Your base monthly mortgage payment (principal and interest) will always stay the same if you have a fixed rate mortgage (although your taxes and insurance may change).Adjustable-Rate Mortgages
With an adjustable-rate mortgage, you have a fixed rate for an initial time period (usually the first 5, 7 or 10 years). After that, your interest rate will reset based on the applicable index and margin. Most ARMs have caps that limit how high the interest rate can increase at each change date and over the life of the loan. Make sure you will be able to afford your payment if your interest rate reaches those caps.Home Equity Loans
When life throws opportunities or challenges your way, a Home Equity Loan with F&M Bank can provide the funds for them. Based on the equity in your home and your credit, qualified homeowners receive a lump sum of money and then make fixed monthly repayments.
