Mortgage FAQ

Get answers to your questions regarding home financing, refinancing and more.

Conventional fixed-rate loans

A fixed-rate loan is one of the most common types of home loans. Benefits include a consistent rate, predictable monthly principal and interest payments and a flexible down payment. If you meet the U.S. Bank credit score and debt-to-income ratio (the ratio of total monthly debt payments – not including utilities, cell phone or cable service – compared to gross monthly income) requirements, a conventional fixed-rate loan may be a good option for you.

A fixed-rate loan is a type of loan that comes with an interest rate that won't change for the life of the loan. Check out today’s rates for a conventional fixed-rate loan or compare mortgage rates for a variety of loan options. Connect with your mortgage loan officer to learn more about how fixed-rate loans work.

Monthly principal and interest payments on a conventional fixed-rate mortgage remain the same for the life of the loan, making it an attractive option for those who plan to stay in their home for several years. With an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) the interest rate may change periodically, based on a pre-determined index – for example, the U.S. Treasury – and margin set by the bank. The initial interest rate is fixed for a set period of five, seven or 10 years depending on the loan product, and then becomes variable. An increase or decrease depends on the market conditions at the time of the conversion to the variable rate and during the adjustment period thereafter. This may be a good option for those who plan on moving within a few years. Consider the benefits of each to determine which makes the most sense for your situation.

Construction loans

Construction loans are short-term, interim loans used for new home construction, including land, contractor labor, building materials, permits and more. With these loans, the contractor receives disbursements as work progresses. There are several construction loans designed to fit nearly every new home construction need. Some options include construction-only loans and construction-to- permanent loans, where the loan is used for the construction of the home and then converts into a permanent mortgage loan.

Construction loans are short-term loans that cover the cost of building a new home. These loans are usually shorter in duration and proceeds are paid directly to the contractor in installments, or “draws,” as building milestones are achieved. An inspection is typically required before each payment is released to the contractor. To learn more about how construction loans work, connect with your mortgage loan officer.

If you’re considering a construction loan, there are a variety of qualifying factors, including but not limited to, credit score, debt-to-income ratio and credit history. Contact your mortgage loan officer to see if you qualify for a construction loan.

VA loans

A Veterans Affairs (VA) loan is a home mortgage that’s backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. To be eligible for a VA loan, you must be an active-duty service member, veteran or eligible surviving spouse. A VA home loan requires little or no money down at closing, and even with no down payment, mortgage insurance is not required.

Veterans Affairs (VA) loans are available to active-duty service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses. A Certificate of Eligibility from the VA is required to show whether you qualify based on your service history and duty status. Your mortgage loan officer will work with you to obtain the Certificate of Eligibility and can help you better understand how VA loans work.

Veterans Affairs (VA) loans are available to active-duty service members and veterans who have served at least 90 days of consecutive service during wartime or 181 days during peacetime. National Guard members and reservists are eligible for a VA loan after six years of service or 181 days of active-duty service. Eligible surviving spouses may also qualify. For more information on how to apply for a VA home loan, contact your mortgage loan officer.

There are several ways active-duty service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses can take advantage of a Veterans Affairs (VA) loan more than once. Here are some ways you may be eligible for another VA loan:

  • Purchase a home with a VA loan and then sell it to buy another home with a new VA loan.
  • Refinance an existing VA loan into another.
  • Have two VA loans for two different homes at the same time.

For more information on VA loans, speak with your mortgage loan officer.

Physician loans

A physician loan is a mortgage designed for Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) and Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). They offer low down payment options and relaxed debt-to-income ratios.

Physician loans are available to Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) and Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). Residents with six months or less in their residency or fellowship who have accepted full time positions and doctors who have completed a residency with the last ten years are also eligible. To be eligible for a physician loan, you must provide a copy of your medical license and employment contract, and  the property must be your primary residence. Second homes and vacation homes do not qualify. To learn more about how physician loans work, connect with your mortgage loan officer.

No. Physician loans differ from conventional loans in several ways. Physician loans are flexible with debt-to-income ratios and will typically accept a signed contract as employment verification.

Refinance

Yes. If you have enough equity in your home, you can consolidate a home equity loan, line of credit or other debt (like a credit card or car loan) into a Cash-out Refinance for a first-lien mortgage loan. With this option, the existing home mortgage and any liens on the property are paid off and replaced with a new mortgage. When you close on the loan, part of the loan will pay off your first mortgage and the cash-out part will pay off your home equity loan, line of credit or other debt.

Just as with your first mortgage, you must meet certain requirements to qualify for a mortgage refinance. The process includes applying for the loan, going through the underwriting process and closing on the home. A mortgage refinance may allow you to reduce your term, lower your monthly payments or reduce your interest rate. To learn more about how to refinance a mortgage, connect with your mortgage loan officer.

To qualify for a Veterans Affairs (VA) refinance loan, you must be an active-duty service member, veteran or eligible surviving spouse. A VA loan may allow you to refinance a home with little or no equity to get cash out or to lower your monthly payment. If you don’t meet the qualifications for a VA refinance loan, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) refinance loans offer similar advantages, including lower borrower equity requirements.

1. The rates above assume you have a down payment, or equity, of at least 25% for a conventional fixed-rate loan, an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loan or a jumbo loan, at least 3.5% for an FHA loan and 0% for a VA loan.

Conforming fixed-rate estimated monthly payment and APR example: A $464,000 loan amount with a 30-year term at an interest rate of 6.500% with a down-payment, or borrower equity of 25% and no discount points purchased would result in an estimated monthly principal and interest payment of $2,933 over the full term of the loan with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 6.667%.

Estimated monthly payment and APR calculation are based on a down-payment, or borrower equity of 25% and borrower-paid finance charges of 0.862% of the base loan amount. If the down payment, or borrower equity is less than 20%, mortgage insurance may be required, which could increase the monthly payment and the APR. Estimated monthly payment does not include amounts for taxes and insurance premiums and the actual payment obligation will be greater.

ARM estimated monthly payment and APR example: A $464,000 loan amount with a 30-year term at an interest rate of 6.875% with a down payment, or borrower equity of 25% and no discount points purchased would result in an initial estimated monthly principal and interest payment of $3,048 with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 7.488%.

Estimated monthly payment and APR calculation are based a fixed-rate period of five years that could change in interest rate every six months for the next 25 years of the loan term, a down-payment, or borrower equity of 25% and borrower-paid finance charges of 0.862% of the base loan amount, plus origination fees if applicable. After the five-year introductory period: the APR is variable and is based upon an index plus a margin. The APR will vary with a predetermined index known as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). If the down payment, or borrower equity is less than 20%, mortgage insurance may be required, which could increase the monthly payment and the APR. Estimated monthly payment does not include amounts for taxes and insurance premiums. Adjustable-rate loans and rates are subject to change during the loan term. That change can increase or decrease your monthly payment.

FHA estimated monthly payment and APR example: A $265,375 base loan amount with a 30-year term at an interest rate of 6.250% with a down payment, or borrower equity of 3.5% and no discount points purchased would result in an estimated monthly principal and interest payment of $1,663 over the full term of the loan with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 7.478%.

Estimated monthly payment and APR calculation are based on a down payment, or borrower equity of 3.5% and borrower-paid finance charges of 0.862% of the base loan amount. Estimated monthly payment and APR assumes that the upfront mortgage insurance premium of $4,644 is financed into the loan amount. The estimated monthly payment shown here does not include the FHA-required monthly mortgage insurance premium, taxes and insurance premiums, and the actual payment obligation will be greater.

VA estimated monthly payment and APR example: A $264,000 base loan amount with a 30-year term at an interest rate of 6.250% with no down payment, or borrower equity and no discount points purchased would result in an estimated monthly principle and interest payment of $1,663 over the full term of the loan with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 6.663%.

Estimated monthly payment and APR calculation are based on a down payment, or borrower equity of 0% and borrower-paid finance charges of 0.862% of the base loan amount, plus origination fees if applicable. Estimated monthly payment and APR assumes that the VA funding fee of $6,072 is financed into the loan amount. Estimated monthly payment does not include amounts for taxes and insurance premiums, and the actual payment obligation will be greater.

Jumbo estimated monthly payment and APR example: A $940,000 loan amount with a 30-year term at an interest rate of 5.625% with a down payment, or borrower equity of 25% and no discount points purchased would result in an estimated monthly principle and interest payment of $5,411 over the full term of the loan with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 5.784%.

Estimated monthly payment and APR calculation are based on a down payment, or borrower equity of 25% and borrower-paid finance charges of 0.862% of the base loan amount. If the down payment, or borrower equity is less than 20%, mortgage insurance may be required, which could increase the monthly payment and the APR. Estimated monthly payment does not include amounts for taxes and insurance premiums and the actual payment obligation will be greater.
