Which loan is right for you?
Every mortgage program has something different to offer, so what’s best for someone else
might not be best for you. Your current needs may steer you toward one program, while
your future plans suggest another.
Take some time to educate yourself about the different options, then talk to a Summit Mortgage loan officer who can help you decide what’s going to work best for you.

Low Down Payment Programs

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)
