Receive a Discounted Interest Rate

First-time buyers receive a discounted interest rate based on current market rates. In fact, interest rates for our First-Time Buyer program are typically a full point or more below our conventional mortgage rates in an effort to help more people qualify for a home purchase. These loans only require a minimum down payment of three percent and have a loan fee half that of a traditional OlyFed mortgage.
