Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)?
An ARM is a home loan with an interest rate that is fixed for an initial period (3, 5, or 7 years) and then adjusts periodically based on market conditions. This usually means lower initial payments compared to a traditional fixed-rate loan, making it a great option if you plan to sell, refinance, or pay off your loan before the fixed-rate period ends.
Who can qualify for your residential lending products?
We offer residential lending solutions to U.S. citizens, residents, and non-resident alien (NRA) clients for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties in Florida and the NY metropolitan area. Certain restrictions apply to HELOCs and the professionals program.
What types of properties are eligible?
• Single-family homes.
• Warrantable condominiums.
• 2–4 unit residences (case by case).
• Planned Unit Development (PUDs).
• Co-ops (in NY Metropolitan areas only).
Note: HELOCs are not available for investment properties or foreign clients.
Can I refinance my current mortgage with you?
Yes. We offer rate/term refinances to adjust your interest rate or loan term, as well as cash-out refinances (except in the Professionals Program).
What is a HELOC and who can apply?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows you to borrow against your home’s equity through a revolving line of credit.
