More than homes
Looking for construction loans, land only loans or investment property loans? We have experience and financing options for the land loans you need.
Conventional Loans are mortgage loans that are not insured by the government (like FHA, VA, USDA Loans), but they typically meet the lending guidelines that have been set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Typically, conventional loans have better rates, terms and/or lower fees than other types of loans. However, conventional loans typically require a borrower to have good-to-excellent credit, reasonable amounts of monthly debt obligations, a down payment of 5-20% and reliable monthly income. Conventional loans are ideal for borrowers with excellent credit and at least a 5% down payment. We have various loan terms available.
If you’d love to buy a home but lack credit, a down payment, or are unable to cover closing costs, an FHA loan may be the solution. FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Programs are available for borrowers with limited savings for a down payment. A minimum down payment of 3.5% is required. The FHA guidelines offer greater flexibility in some areas and therefore broaden the availability of home financing to more buyers.
There are several reasons you might consider refinancing your mortgage. You could lower your monthly payment, get a lower interest rate, consolidate your debt, convert from an ARM to a fixed-rate loan, or eliminate private mortgage insurance. Speak with a Monarch Mortgage loan officer to determine if refinancing your current mortgage can help you meet your goals.
A USDA Loan is a mortgage loan that is insured by the US Department of Agriculture and available to qualified individuals who are purchasing or refinancing their home loan in an area that is not considered a major metropolitan area by USDA.
A VA loan is a mortgage loan guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) that is available to most US service members. It offers some very great benefits to those that have served our country. There is no down payment required for most VA loans. These loans do require eligibility from the VA which requires the buyer being a Veteran or Active Duty military. The guidelines promote flexibility and remove many of the typical burdens of mortgage qualification for eligible buyers.
This is the tax opportunity every real estate investor needs to know!
A 1031 tax deferred exchange allows investors the ability to defer the capital gains tax associated with the sale of business or investment.
Real Estate can be an effective way to preserve and create wealth through a reinvestment of "like-kind" property. The various requirements to comply with and time deadlines to meet set out by the Internal Revenue Code and the various regulations make a 1031 Exchange complex, so the support of an experienced Qualified Intermediary is important.

*APY=Annual Percentage Yield. APYs accurate as of 7/1/2024. Rates may change after account is opened. For Kasasa Cash, if qualifications are met each monthly qualification cycle: (1) Domestic ATM fees incurred during qualification cycle will be reimbursed up to $25 and credited to account on the last day of monthly statement cycle; (2) balances up to $15,000 receive APY of 5.00%; and (3) balances over $15,000 earn 0.05% interest rate on the portion of the balance over $15,000. If qualifications are not met on Kasasa Cash, all balances earn 0.01% APY. Qualifying transactions must post and settle to Kasasa Cash account during monthly qualification cycle. Transactions may take one or more banking days from the date transaction was made to post and settle to account. ATM-processed transactions do not count towards qualifying debit card transactions. "Monthly Qualification Cycle" means a period beginning one day prior to the first day of the current statement cycle through one day prior to the close of the current statement cycle. The advertised Kasasa Cash APY is based on compounding interest. Interest earned in Kasasa Cash is automatically transferred to Kasasa Saver each statement cycle and does not compound. Actual interest amount paid may be less than advertised Kasasa Cash APY. The Kasasa Saver APYs may be less than Kasasa Cash APYs. Transfers between accounts do not count as qualifying transactions. ATM receipt must be presented for reimbursement of an individual ATM fee of $5.00 or higher.
