Which Loan is Right For You?

1% Lender Credit

Nothing is more exciting than buying a brand-new home. But coming up with extra money for closing costs isn’t as thrilling. That’s why Guardian Mortgage offers an innovative 1% Lender Credit to help with these expenses. If you are within 90 days of the completion of your new home, you may qualify. Most loan types do – including Conventional, FHA, and VA loans.

Builder Select Program

When you’re building a home and looking forward to the finish line, nothing’s worse than seeing interest rates climb; they go up and so do your stress levels. Our Builder Select program can ease your worries by locking in mortgage rates for up to 180 days. It’s protection for your rate and your peace of mind.

Community Reinvestment Lending (CRA)

Guardian Mortgage strives to meet the needs of our local communities. Our Portfolio CRA program opens up the possibility of home financing for people who might not qualify for more conventional options. It can also benefit current homeowners who meet required income limits and want to refinance to get savings, flexibility, and more favorable terms.

Conforming ARM

An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) typically offers lower rates than a fixed-rate mortgage. Your rate is locked for the first 3, 5, 7, or 10 years and then could adjust up (or down) based on the rate it’s tied to. It’s a great way to enjoy initial lower payments for borrowers who might plan on selling or refinancing before their fixed term ends.

Conventional

Our conventional loan is great option for first-time homebuyers and experienced homeowners. This loan type is generally for borrowers with good credit scores, low debt-to-income ratios, and who want maximum flexibility.

Down Payment Assistance Programs

Guardian Mortgage is committed to helping families in our communities attain affordable housing.

FHA Lending

Maybe you don’t have a ton of money saved up for a down payment or your income is moderate. If so, a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan could put you in your very own home. FHA loans are designed to encourage home ownership and are popular with people who might not qualify for a conventional loan. Talk to a Guardian Mortgage professional to see if it’s right for you.

Heroes Program

You serve others before yourself. You give your time, your dedication, and your energy to making our communities better. Thanks to you, we’re all safer, stronger, happier.

Home One SM

The HomeOne program makes the dream of home ownership a real possibility for many buyers. It doesn’t have restrictions such as geographical location or income limits like some other low-down payment programs do. If you’re a first-time home buyer, talk to a Guardian Mortgage professional and see if it’s right for you!

HomeStyle ®

You love the house, but it needs some upgrades. Why not consider a renovation loan? They are quickly becoming a popular way to turn your current place into your dream home. HomeStyle Renovation gives you the options to make repairs or remodel within a single conventional first mortgage, rather than through seconds or HELOCs. They can also be used for purchases.

Jumbo Interest-Only

Certain purchases or refinances require a large loan. And sometimes borrowers have complex financial situations, substantial but fluctuating incomes, or preferences in how they maintain cash flow. We have solutions; our mortgage professionals are here to consult with you to see if a jumbo interest-only loan might suit your circumstances.

Jumbo Standard

If you’re in the market for a higher-priced home or investment property, take advantage of our jumbo loans. We have several jumbo loan types and various term options that give you the flexibility to make your dreams into reality.

Lock and Shop

You’ve found the rate that’s right for you, now protect it! Our Lock & Shop program lets you lock-in mortgage rates for up to 90 days without a contract, so you can shop for the home that’s as great as your interest rate. Once you find your new home, execute a contract and be sure your closing date is within the selected lock period.

One Time Close

Building a home is exciting, but it also means lots of decisions. Why make an additional loan one of them? If you’re constructing a new house, don’t shop for multiple loans, worry about multiple rates, and deal with multiple closings. Our one-time-close loan covers the land purchase, construction costs, and long-term financing… allowing you to focus on your new adventure.

Portfolio Second Lien

If you’re house-shopping and have enough for a down payment but not quite the amount needed to avoid PMI (private mortgage insurance), we’ve got a solution. With our Portfolio Second Lien (also known as an 80/10/10), we finance 80% in a first mortgage, 10% in a second mortgage, and with your 10% down payment, you’re able to avoid the PMI requirement. One of our loan professionals can make understanding a Portfolio Second Lien easy. This program offers a flexible way to get the home you want… without the mortgage insurance you don’t.

Relationship Lending

If you have a full banking relationship with Sunflower Bank or First National 1870, consider this your personal invitation to exclusive financing. Talk to a Guardian Mortgage professional to find out about the benefits of our Relationship Lending program. (And thank you for being an honored client.)

USDA Rural Development

Breathe in the country air! USDA Rural Development loans help borrowers purchase eligible homes in certain rural and suburban areas. This loan is reserved for those who need it most— if you have low-to-moderate income it may be right for you. It’s popular because it offers low- or no-down payment options and requires no mortgage insurance. Talk to us to see if you qualify.

VA Lending Program

Your service to our country means a lot; the VA home loan program is a tremendous benefit that you’ve already earned. Don’t let it go unused. A VA mortgage helps service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses become homeowners. These loans have features that aren’t available to the general public, such as 0% down payment options and lower closing costs. So, if you’ve served in the military, let Guardian Mortgage help you take advantage of this well-deserved benefit. You’ve earned it.
