Own your home with a lower cost mortgage.

The Adjustable‑Rate Dream It, Own It mortgage loan helps you afford your dream home with no money down and initial interest rates that are typically lower. You can lock in a low rate for your choice of 5, 7, or 10 years, and it will adjust periodically after that.2 Whether you’re a first- or third‑time home buyer, you’ll learn everything you need to know about financing with an adjustable‑rate mortgage in the required home‑buying education session.

Perfect for you if:
  • You don’t have a down payment to make.
  • You plan to purchase a home for less than $325,000.
  • You are looking to build your credit.

Loan Features

  • Requires the purchase to be for primary residences only.
  • No down payment required.
  • Mortgage insurance is not required.
  • Only a 0.50% origination fee.

Loan Benefits

  • Pay less cash upfront for your closing costs and no down payment is required.
  • Down payment and closing costs may come from gift or grant funds, including gifts of equity between family members.
  • Great if you expect future income growth or if you plan to move or refinance within a few years.

Considerations

  • Borrow up to $325,000.
  • Before closing the loan, borrowers must complete homeownership counseling with a HUD approved housing counselor or a Homebuyer Education Certification Program.
  • The property being purchased must be located in counties included in First Bank’s Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Area. Contact us for additional information, or to determine if your property is in an eligible location.
  • Eligibility is subject to specific property location and borrower income restrictions.
  • It’s important to have a full picture of homeownership costs. Be sure to ask your Loan Officer to help you compare the overall costs of all mortgage loan products, including the monthly and long‑term costs of home upkeep.
