Teaser Rate Loans



Here is the text for the * (next to 1.00%):

We do not offer mortgage loans in New Jersey and Texas. Available programs may be limited in other states.

Start rate of 1.00% is fixed for the first 30 days. Fixed payment option is available for the first 12 months. Terms of the payment are based on a margin of 2.10% plus the 1 month MTA Index (2.022% as of February 16, 2005). APR of 4.27% and payment of $643.28 per month is based on a 30-year term, $200,000 loan amount at 1.00%, and may change if the index adjusts after the first 30 days. If minimum payment option is selected, deferred interest may accrue. Interest rate quoted assumes a credit score of 620+ with a loan-to-value (LTV) of 80% on a primary residence. The APR and payment will vary based on the specific terms of the loan selected and verification of information and credit. Rates are subject to change without notice.

All loans will be secured by a lien against your property. Not all applicants will be approved. Terms and conditions apply, call for details.

  1. What a deal! /cough

    I'm reminded of a full page printed ad that I saw here in SD recently. I picked up one of those free glossy houses for sale magazines at the grocery store just for laughs. This one deserves a spot in the Hall of Shame.

    The monthly rate might as well be a teaser.
