Home Construction Loans
Some people like to search for their dream home that’s already built and ready for move-in. Others want to build the home of their dreams. For those that like to customize, we have a customized solution for you in our home construction loans.
You want to keep your construction loan payments affordable because you might be paying to live in one place while building another. We help keep those expenses manageable and disburse funds along the way in the construction process.
The best part about our home construction loans? We can help with turning your home construction loan into permanent financing. We will be with you from the beginning of your dream home idea all the way until your home has many memories years from now.
First Time Homebuyers
Buying a home for the first time can be daunting. You might think that it’s confusing, stressful, and a lot of work. It shouldn’t feel that way. We have a dedicated team to make it EASY for you. Buying a home should be a rewarding experience. We try to be a small part of that.
As mentioned previously, there are all sorts of loan options, especially for first time homebuyers. When our staff sits down with you, we want to know about you. We will gather information about you that will help us get you the best possible type of loan. You don’t have to know all the complexities of getting a mortgage because our staff has the experience to make it simple for you.
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
Perhaps you live in your dream home, but you need to make a repair here or there. You might want to add a deck. You may really want the kitchen remodeled. You might just need a little extra cash. A HELOC is the perfect kind of loan for these situations and more.
If you have equity in your home, why not use it? Here are some of the benefits of a First Harrison Bank HELOC:
- Funds for repairs, remodels, additions, and more
- Revolving line of credit
- Write a check or transfer funds online from your HELOC
Be sure to call us to inquire to see if you qualify!
Second Mortgage
From time to time, we need to make big purchases in life. We often don't have the funds to pay for the large purchase in one lump sum. If you have equity in your home, the difference between what you owe on your first mortgage and what the current value is today, and need a lump sum for whatever life has brought, a second mortgage could be a good option for you. Call us for second mortgage loan rate specials!
Second Mortgage Facts
- You'll receive a lump sum loan from the bank.
- Fixed term and rate.
- Consistent payments make it easy to budget.
- Generally, second mortgage rates are better than credit card rates.
- Can be used for things like home renovation, repairs, weddings, credit card consolidation, or any other large purchase.
- The interest may be tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor for details.
Our Mortgage Process
At First Harrison Bank, our goal is to help make the mortgage process as clear and informative as possible. A better understanding of the process can help ensure your loan closes on time. Our Mortgage Guide will walk you through each step so you know what to expect from application to closing.
