Receive a Discounted Interest Rate

First-time buyers receive a discounted interest rate based on current market rates. In fact, interest rates for our First-Time Buyer program are typically a full point or more below our conventional mortgage rates in an effort to help more people qualify for a home purchase. These loans only require a minimum down payment of three percent and have a loan fee half that of a traditional OlyFed mortgage.

First-Time Buyer Construction Program

First-time buyers looking to build a home benefit from a construction loan with as little as 5% down, while also enjoying a loan fee half that of a traditional OlyFed mortgage. Even better, we roll construction costs and permanent financing into one convenient package and we close up-front on permanent financing.  No need to refinance upon home completion and pay additional closing costs or take the risk of interest rates being higher.
