Turn a house into a home. Personal Banking/Mortgage Services
Buying a new home is a big decision and a memory that will last a lifetime. You work hard to earn your money, so it’s important to understand your mortgage options, and choose one that’s right for you.

Shopping for the mortgage that’s best for you can save you on interest charges and increase your chances of qualifying for mortgage financing. A mortgage that works well for your neighbor may not be your best option. There are several factors you’ll want to consider when choosing a mortgage – the amount you’d like to borrow, current interest rates, how long you plan on staying in your new home, your age, your income, and much more.

And, your mortgage should be so much more than just principal and interest . . . it should not only provide for home ownership, it should also offer significant value by combining long-term appreciation and tax deductible interest*. We believe owning a home is potentially the single best way for you to create value over your lifetime.

Obtaining information from several mortgage providers is always a smart move as lending philosophies, rates, points, fees, and other terms and conditions can vary widely from lender to lender. To further discuss your smart borrowing options, contact a First Midwest Banker.

Smart Tip:

THE LEVERAGE OF BUYING UP
Like any other investment, your home will be worth more over time. And it pays to buy early, even if the home is modest and the down payment low. Here's why: In a few years you realize a return on the entire value of your home, not just the down payment. That's leverage. By selling your home and using this leveraged equity as a down payment, you'll find it possible to buy up to a far more expensive home than if you had waited the same time to afford a nicer first home.
