A Farm Home Loan is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which helps individuals and families wanting to locate in rural areas (all of Island County and Skagit County) become home owners. The program allows credit-worthy, moderate income borrowers to qualify for mortgages even without a down payment. Borrowers must have adequate and dependable income and repayment ability and a good credit history with a perfect credit record in the last 12 months. Applicants cannot own an existing home and must plan to occupy the new home as a permanent residence.

Equity Bridge Loans

Afraid of getting bumped, or possibly, rising interest rates? Want to stay in your home while your new custom construction house is being built? Get a bridge loan! Short-term financing provides you with the down payment and closing costs for your new home. When your current home sells, then you pay back the loan (12 months interest only with no scheduled payments required, balloon payment of original principal balance plus accrued interest due at maturity). It's that simple. A great, hassle-free way to ensure you're able to buy the home you want, when you want.   Eligible properties are single family residences (no condos), manufactured homes, and PUD's. Interest 
rate is typically prime-based 8.250% plus 1%.

Home Equity Line of Credit

A home equity line acts as a revolving line of credit, performing similarly to any standard credit card. With a HELOC, you have a pre-approved credit limit that you don't have to use, but it's available for any purpose, when you need it, without re-applying. The interest rate will be tied to the prime rate (8.250%) and far lower than what credit cards charge. Loan interest may be fully tax deductible. Consult your tax advisor.
