City's Loan or Mortgage Products:

Adjustable Rate Mortgage (A.R.M.)
This loan starts with a competitively low interest rate that can rise or fall periodically to reflect changing market conditions. Interest rate and payment adjustments are made after the initial term and are based on a published index such as the one-year Treasury index. Most plans limit the degree of change that can take place at any one time. Consider an adjustable-rate mortgage if:

You want to afford more house than a fixed rate allows;
You expect steady or declining interest rates;
You are likely to change locations within the next four years; OR
You are in a "growing family" stage with a favorable income trend.
Conventional Fixed Rate
The interest rate and monthly payment (principal and interest) are established when the loan is made and remain constant over the life of the loan. Your down payment can be less than 5% of the sales price on some loans, although down payments of less than 20% require private mortgage insurance. Consider a fixed-rate loan if:

You want the security of a steady payment;
You expect interest rates to go up;
Your income will stay about the same;
Your priority is to build up equity; OR
You plan to occupy the home 8 years or more.
Construction Mortgage
A construction mortgage finances the construction of a home and converts to permanent financing when the home is completed. It allows the buyer to deal with only one lender, file only one credit application and pay only one set of closing costs. As construction progresses, the buyer can access the cash necessary to pay construction costs and is billed for interest only each month. Then at completion, permanent mortgage payments begin.

Special Mortgage
Special Mortgage financing is also available through the West Virginia Housing Development Fund. This agency offers long-term, fixed-rate mortgage financing with significant advantages for qualified borrowers. Family income and purchase price limits generally apply.

West Virginia Housing provides financing with low down payment requirements for the purchase of new and existing homes. Private mortgage insurance is required if the down payment is less than 20%.
