Payment example: 120-month term payments at 8.25% APR are $12.27 per $1,000. Interest Only payments at $7.01 APR per $1000. The variable APR is based on Prime Rate plus a margin, and will vary with Prime Rate. Certain property types are not eligible collateral.

²Not all applicants will qualify for the lowest rate. APR may vary based on credit score, Loan to Value (LTV), Credit History and occupancy status. Property and flood insurance is required where necessary. The minimum periodic payment is interest-only for the first ten years (“draw period”) followed by fully-amortizing payments to repay the balance over the final twenty years. No draws will be allowed during the repayment period. Payments and rate can adjust monthly. Payments will increase if rates increase. At the end of the draw period, your required monthly payments will increase because you will be paying both principal and interest. The rate is calculated using an index plus a margin. The index used is the Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal Eastern Edition on the last business day of the month prior to the change. The current prime index is 8.25%. Minimum interest rate is 3.25%. Maximum interest rate is 18%.
