Find the right loan for you with our full range of mortgage loan options.

A general rule: The longer term you select, the higher the interest rate will be but your monthly payment will be lower.

You will pay more in interest over the life of a 30-year term vs. a 15-year term.
However, you can pay your mortgage off at any time with no pre-payment penalties.

Fixed-rate Mortgage Loans

A fixed rate loan means your principal and interest payment stays the same
since the interest rate doesn't fluctuate over the term of the loan.

We offer loans for homes located in most states.

SPIRE offers competitive interest rates.

1% Down Payment Option

For qualified borrowers, SPIRE offers a unique 1% down payment option for fixed-rate loans.
You'll also enjoy lower monthly mortgage insurance.
The home must be owner-occupied and there are no income restrictions.

Home Ready Program

The Home Ready loan program assists borrowers with
low to moderate incomes to purchase a home.
A 3% down payment is required, but flexible down payment sources are offered.
There is no upfront mortgage insurance cost and your monthly insurance payments are lower.

FHA Loan Program

Federal Housing Association (FHA) program offers a low down payment option.
Borrowers with limited credit history allowed are allowed.
FHA loans are serviced by our partner, Servion

VA Loans

Available to Veterans and their spouses, the VA loan program offer no down payment or mortgage insurance requirements.
VA loans are serviced by our partner, Servion

Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) loan offers a lower initial rate than a traditional fixed-rate loan.
An ARM starts at a fixed rate for five, seven, or 10 years. After that period, the rate may fluctuate each year.

ARM loans are a great way to save interest if you do not plan to live in a home for a long time.

Rate Re-lock guarantee

Control your payment by re-locking your rate to the current rate.
The newly re-locked rate will be applied to the remaining term and principal balance of your existing SPIRE ARM.
No application, credit check, or appraisal needed! Fee applies.

Vacation/Second Home Loans

Create lasting memories from your favorite go-to destination.

You only have to occupy the home part of the year,
but it cannot be a rental property.

We offer competitive second home loan rates.

Bridge Loan

If you're looking to buy a house but you aren't ready to
sell your current home, a bridge mortgage is a great option.

Bridge loans enable you to put a non-contingent offer on a house.

Your final mortgage financing must be with SPIRE.

Land Loan

Apply for a land loan if you are looking to purchase
up to 50 acres of land without a structure on it.

Land loans can be for recreational use or future residence construction.

SPIRE offers up to 15 year fixed terms with maximum LTV of 65%.
Maximum loan amount $150,000.

Jumbo Mortgage Loan

purchase a higher-priced property.

30-years or ARM loan terms available.
