that provides borrowers with the option to select the amortization term that
works best for their financial situation. This means the client can choose to
have a loan with an amortization term with as many as 30 years or as few as 8.
The Flex Term Loan gives borrowers the ability to customize the perfect loan
while avoiding resetting the mortgage clock. The goal is for home owners to
obtain financing that is ideal for their personal scenario. Complete the Quick Quote to confirm eligibility and amortization options.
Benefits of the Flex Term Loan Include
Scenario 1:
Benefits of the Flex Term Loan Include
- No Resetting Term: Refinancing without resetting your term. A client who has paid 8 years on their loan and has 22 years left can choose a 22 year Flex Term Loan Program. This will keep them on pace to pay off their loan in the same time period and have a lower payment and rate during the duration of the loan.
- Target Payoff Date: Paying your home off on a certain date. Some people want to set their loan up to pay off the mortgage the same year they plan to retire. A client who is 50 and plans to retire at 62 could write a 12 year flex term loan and pay the note off the same year they retire.
- Shorten the Term: Keep the same payment but shortening the term of the loan. Sometimes a client can qualify for a lower rate but is comfortable with their existing payment. In this case they could try to keep the payment roughly the same but shorten the term of the loan to pay the note off faster.
- Budget: Find a loan term that fits your budget the best. Having loan amortization options between 8-30 years will give you the ability to structure a loan with a payment and term that fits your specific needs.
- Equity: Build equity faster shortening the term of your loan.
- Interest: Possibility of saving on interest when shortening the term of the loan.
- Free and Clear: Pay off your home
faster and own a home with no debt against the house.
