C&F Portfolio Options

C&F 7-Year Balloon with 30-Year Amortization

This portfolio product, offered by C&F, provides the opportunity for homeowners to finance a higher-priced home at a lower rate for 7 years with a 30-year amortization. This allows the monthly payment to be lower than a 30-year fixed rate throughout the term of the loan and then the remaining balance is due and payable at the end of the 7-year term (known as a balloon payment). Refinance options may be available for this remaining balance. This program is based on a 20% down payment with an initial period of 7 years amortized for 30 years. At the end of the balloon period, the balance is due and payable. This is an excellent option for borrowers looking to lock into a lower rate for an extended period of time in a rising rate environment.

C&F 7-Year Balloon with 30-Year Amortization 270-day Extended Lock

This extended lock provides borrowers with protection against potential interest rate fluctuations during an extended timeframe, allowing them to secure a predetermined rate even if the loan closing takes more time.

C&F Permanent Rate Buydown

Looking for an opportunity to lower your mortgage interest rate in a rising rate environment? C&F’s 7-year balloon with 30-year amortization product offers the ability for the rate to be permanently bought down by 1.25% in rate. The cost of this is a below market fee of 2.25 points which can be paid by the seller. For example, if the note rate is 6.25%, the buydown would reduce the rate for the term of the loan to 5.00%.

This allows the monthly payment to be lower than a 30-year fixed rate throughout the term of the loan and then the remaining balance may be refinanced at the end of the 7-year term (known as a balloon payment). This program is based on a 20% down payment with an initial period of 7 years amortized for 30 years. At the end of the balloon period, the balance is due and payable.

C&F Asset Depletion Product

An asset depletion mortgage allows you to qualify for a mortgage by converting liquid assets into income. This is a great option for borrowers who don’t have traditional sources of income and documentation like W2s, pay stubs, or tax returns, such as the self-employed, retirees, and high-net-worth individuals.

This portfolio product, offered by C&F, provides the opportunity for homeowners to finance a higher-priced home at a lower rate for 7 years with a 30-year amortization. This allows the monthly payment to be lower than a 30-year fixed rate throughout the term of the loan and then the remaining balance may be refinanced at the end of the 7-year term (known as a balloon payment). This program is based on a 20% down payment with an initial period of 7 years amortized for 30 years. At the end of the balloon period, the balance is due and payable.

Conventional Options

A conventional loan is a mortgage that is not part of a specific government program. Homebuyers may choose a conventional loan because they offer the best interest rates and loan terms — usually resulting in a lower monthly payment. Homeowners may also choose a conventional loan if they have 20% to put down and avoid mortgage insurance.

Maryland Mortgage Program

The Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP), provided by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), provides 30-year fixed-rate home loans to eligible homebuyers purchasing in Maryland with competitive loan terms and a range of associated financial incentives and other assistance that, for many homebuyers, means the difference between being able to purchase and continuing to rent.

MMP 1st Time Advantage

​​1st Time Advantage loans are designed to offer eligible first-time homebuyers the lowest 30-year fixed interest rate available for Maryland Mortgage Program loans. The Maryland HomeCredit Program (mortgage credit certificates) may not be layered with this line of products.​

 

  • 1st Time Advantage Direct: No down payment assistance (DPA) available, but usually offers our most competitive interest rates. External sources of DPA may be used.
  • 1st Time Advantage 6000: Comes with a $6,000 loan for down payment and closing costs. This second lien has a zero percent interest rate, and no payments are due for the life of the first mortgage. As soon as the first mortgage ends (repayment, refinance, transfer, sale, etc.), the second lien is due and payable. The 6000 line is eligible for Partner Match funds, if applicable.
  • 1st Time Advantage 3% Loan: Comes with a DPA loan equal to 3% of the first mortgage in a zero percent deferred second lien.

  • Flex 3% Loan: Comes with a DPA loan equal to 3% of the first mortgage in a zero percent deferred second lien.

  • Home builders and real estate developers who give financial and other incentives to encourage purchase of their properties,
  • Community organizations that encourage homeownership as a way of building sustainable neighborhoods, and
  • Local governments attracting new residents to their community.

These programs often include grants, loans and other helpful assistance, and you should begin research early in the homebuying process to discover which programs may be available to you. ​​​​​

If you’re using the 1st Time Advantage 6000 or the Flex 6​000 loan products to purchase your home, any financial assistance you receive from one or more of these Partners is matched (up to $2,500) as additional down payment assistance. ​This additional funding is available as a no-interest, deferred loan from the state, payable when the first mortgage is fully paid off.​​​​​
