A mortgage in which the interest rate is adjusted periodically based on a pre-selected index and margin.

Conventional loans are not insured by any government program, and they are the most common type of mortgage. Conforming conventional loans follow the loan amount guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Nonconforming loans don’t meet those guidelines, but are still considered conventional. Conventional loans often have higher down payment requirements than government-sponsored loans like FHA and USDA.
A loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration open to all qualified home purchasers. While there are limits to the size of FHA loans, they are generous enough to handle moderately-priced homes almost anywhere in the country. FHA loans offer a low down payment and more flexibility than many other types of financing.
Loans guaranteed by the USDA remain one of the few nationally offered loan programs available with no down payment. The program’s requirements mandate that both the property and borrower must qualify. These requirements are dependent on the physical location of the property and the maximum household income.
Mortgage loans available to eligible US veterans. VA guaranteed loans are made by private lenders, such as banks or mortgage companies, for the purchase of a home for a buyer’s own personal occupancy. These loans offer competitive rates and require little or no down payment.

A home equity loan (HELOAN) or home equity line of credit (HELOC*) can help you find security wherever life takes you.
Get the cash you need by accessing your home’s equity through a HELOC or HELOAN.
A HELOC is a line of credit secured by your home. You can use your revolving credit line for large purchases such as tuition, renovations, and emergency expenses. Since HELOCs rely on your home’s equity, you can’t borrow more than the value of equity in your home, which is the value of your home minus the amount you owe on your first mortgage.
A home equity loan provides up to 90% of your home’s equity as a piggyback second mortgage. The HELOAN acts as a second mortgage, allowing an 80-10-10 structure with a first mortgage up to 80% loan-to-value to piggyback a second mortgage and avoid mortgage insurance or jumbo loan amounts. It can also work as a cash-out refinance to transform your first mortgage into a completely new mortgage. HELOANs offer flexible loan terms and fast funding.
*These are brokered loan products. State restrictions and eligibility requirements will apply based on investor guidelines. All loans subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice. Always consult an accountant or tax advisor for full eligibility requirements on tax deduction.
Mortgages with buydown plans have lower initial payments, a temporarily reduced interest rate and no balloon payments at the end of your loan term. The structure of the buydown will determine your payment increases, making them predictable throughout the life of your loan.
Buydowns can make the entry to homeownership more accessible and help you keep your options open when searching for homes. Depending on your unique situation, starting with a reduced payment may also give you more flexibility and cash flow for renovations or other home purchases.

A brand-new construction home is full of opportunities. Whether you’re relocating, downsizing or looking to upgrade, we’ll help you find the loan that gets you into your dream home.
Construction loan options can help you get into your dream home once your home is complete. A new construction loan helps finance the construction of a new residential property once the final touches of the home are complete. Many times, builders are working to get their homes sold as they are complete or as they are nearing completion. With our new construction loan programs, Guild works to provide all different types of financing options to help you get into a brand-new home.
In a low inventory market, buying brand new may be the right option for you to work with a local builder to customize a brand-new home to your liking. Buying an existing home today may be more challenging until more inventory is readily available to choose from.
If you’re interested in working with a builder to create your dream home, we can help you find the program that’s right for your financial situation. Many builders offer incentives in the form of a seller incentive that can help you get into a home with a lower payment or lower closing costs. Our new construction loan programs can help boost your homebuying experience.
There are a lot of small decisions to make when you customize a home. We’re here to serve as your partner at every step and help you get into your new home. Whether you’re interested in relocating, downsizing, or adding a pool or solar, we can help you determine the program that makes sense for your budget and needs.
Not available in all states. Eligibility requirements apply and availability varies.
