Option ARM  (Click here for more information)

An adjustable rate mortgage loan with the option of four different monthly payment amounts: minimum payment, interest only, full principal and interest (30-year term) and full principal and interest (15-year term). These loans typically have a low initial fixed interest rate for a specified period of time. Beyond the fixed interest period, rates are subject to monthly adjustment based on the specified index. Payment option amounts after the initial fixed interest period are subject to change annually. Deferred interest, or negative amortization, is possible with these loans.
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A credit line that is secured by a second deed of trust on a house. Equity lines of credit are revolving accounts that work like a credit card, which can be paid down or charged up for the term of the loan. The minimum payment due each month is interest only.
Closed-End / Fixed Rate Seconds

This product is designed for borrowers with high credit quality who wish to take out a closed-end (stand-alone) fixed rate lien that will be subordinate to the first mortgage on their home.
Fixed Rate Interest Only

Under this program, the borrower pays interest only for the first 10 or 15 years. The loan is then fully amortized over the remaining term of the 30 year loan. The borrower may make voluntary principal payments during the interest only period. The required interest only payment will be reduced to reflect the decrease in the principal unpaid balance.
Subprime Loan

If a borrower has a less than perfect credit history, then the borrower may need a "Subprime" loan. These loans may have higher interest rates.
