Mortgage FAQ

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

First-time home buyers

Depending on your home-ownership goals, there are several options for first-time home buyer loans. Some examples include Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Affairs (VA) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) loans, which allow for low to no-down payments for qualified buyers. Conventional loans are another option, and you could qualify with a credit score as low as 620 but you’ll need a more substantial down payment (up to 20% depending on your situation). It’s important to consider the benefits of different loan options before deciding which one is right for you.

To qualify for mortgage loans that are best suited for first-time home buyers, there are general requirements that can include:

  • Credit Score
  • Down payment amount
  • Household income limitations

Your mortgage loan officer can work with you to see if you qualify for any first-time home buyer loans.

If you have not owned a home in the last three years, you may be eligible to apply for a first-time home buyer loan and down payment assistance. The requirements for each loan type vary, but they typically are based on your credit score and down payment amount. Contact your mortgage loan officer to see if you qualify.

American Dream mortgage loan

American Dream is a mortgage loan program only available through U.S. Bank. It’s designed to help low- to-moderate income borrowers get into their next home. Benefits of the American Dream loan include a low down payment option, mortgage insurance that's covered by U.S. Bank, and down payment assistance up to $5,500 or 3% of the purchase price up to $10,000 (whichever is greater), which may be used for repairs, down payment and/or closing costs.

USDA loans

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) loans are mortgages guaranteed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A USDA loan can be a good option for buyers who meet certain income requirements in eligible rural areas. These zero down payment loans offer low interest rates, and they often have more flexible credit requirements than conventional mortgages. Contact your mortgage loan officer to see if you qualify for a USDA loan.

If you’re considering a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) loan, you should be prepared to meet the established guidelines for credit score, income and debt-to-income ratio. Contact your mortgage loan officer to see if you qualify for a USDA loan.

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) loans are available to qualified buyers who meet certain income requirements in eligible rural areas. To be eligible for a USDA loan, the home must meet certain requirements and it must be your primary residence in a rural community. Rental properties and vacation homes do not qualify. To learn more about how USDA loans work, connect with your mortgage loan officer.

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.

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.

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.

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. Conforming rates are for loan amounts not exceeding $726,200 ($1,089,300 in AK and HI).

Conforming ARM loans: Adjustable-rate loans and rates are subject  to change during the loan term. That change can increase or decrease your monthly payment. The annual percentage rate (APR) calculation assumes a  $464,000 loan  with a 25% down payment, or borrower equity, and borrower-paid finance charges of 0.862% of the loan amount, plus  origination fees if applicable. 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. Conforming rates are for loan  amounts not exceeding $726,200 ($1,089,300 in AK and HI).

Non-conforming ARM loans: Adjustable-rate loans and rates  are subject to  change during the loan term. That change can increase or decrease your monthly payment.
