Conventional Home Loans
Legends Bank offers conventional home financing for terms up to 30 years with fixed rates or several variable rate options. Talk with us to learn which type of mortgage best suits your budget and borrowing needs.
VA Loans
A VA loan is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; as a result, your home loan could have flexible terms and typically no down payment (qualified military veterans with at least six months of active duty). This loan also is available to the unmarried spouse of a deceased veteran whose death was service-related, or spouse of an MIA or POW. Other possible benefits may include that the seller pays up to 4% toward the borrower's closing costs.
FHA Loans
The Federal Housing Administration administers this home loan, which features a low down payment and easy qualification.
Other features include:
- Borrower may qualify for 3.5% down payment
- Seller may pay up to 6% of the sales price toward closing costs
Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) Loans
First-time buyers or those who have not owned a home within at least three years may qualify for these lower-interest rate loans. Financing is subject to the availability of state funding.
Special Home Loan Financing
Legends Mortgage Services offers several government sponsored home ownership incentive programs. These special financing options are designed to lower your interest rate, down payment amount, and/or closing costs. Here are a few examples:
Construction Loans
Legends Bank is your headquarters for construction loans. We will help arrange a loan that lets you and your family build the home of your dreams. Construction/permanent loans are also available.
Home Equity Loans
A home equity loan lets you make major purchases with the equity you've built up in your home. It also gives you the added benefit of possible tax savings. Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.
Home Improvement Loans
Legends Bank can make any type of home or property improvement loan. Talk with us about a loan that helps you add on a room, redecorate, even install a new pool.
Refinance Your Home … and Save
When interest rates drop by at least 1.5% below your existing mortgage loan rate, you may be able to save money by refinancing your loan. Contact Legends Mortgage Services to help you determine if refinancing will:
- Reduce your interest rate and lower your payments
- Reduce your mortgage term and pay off your loan faster
- Convert your equity into instant cash and possibly qualify you to receive a tax deduction. Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.
