1st Time Home Buyers
Are you ready to take the big leap and purchase your first home? If you haven’t owned a home in more than three years, you qualify for first time home buyer programs. First time homebuyers are given the ability to have a 3% down payment option, which is a low down payment compared to most FHA loans.

Refinance Your House
Do you have a high interest rate on a home loan? Refinancing your home will allow you to obtain a better interest rate and loan terms. A lower interest rate can reduce monthly payments. Refinancing can also be used to pay off debts or make large purchases by using some of the equity cash-out from the loan.

Loan Programs
Conventional
Conventional loans are mortgages not backed or insured by the government. A conventional loan will have a fixed interest rate and loan terms. When interest rates are low, conventional loans allow borrowers to lock in a low interest rate and enjoy fixed payments over the life of the loan.
FHA
FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Borrowers will pay mortgage insurance premiums to protect lenders from borrower defaults. Qualified borrowers with lower credit scores are eligible for FHA loans with down payments as low as 3.5%.
VA
VA loans are available to Veterans, Service Members, and certain military spouses for a $0 down payment mortgage. Each loan is issued through private lenders, but they are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA).
Rural Housing
Rural Housing Service (RHS) provides mortgage programs for low-to-moderate income rural residents to purchase homes, construct homes, or purchase property. RHS is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Rate Term/Finance
Rate and term refinance loans refer to refinancing an existing mortgage to change the interest rate or the term of a mortgage without asking for more money on the loan. We assist Utah homeowners with rate and term refinance loans to aid in a lower monthly payment due to a drop in current interest rates.
Reverse Mortgage
Reverse mortgages are designed for homeowners aged 62 or older, allowing them to convert the equity in their home and use it to pay for other expenses. Retirees with limited income appreciate reverse mortgages as it does help to pay for healthcare and other living expenses.
New Construction Homes
Do you need a loan to build your home? Construction loans can be difficult to come by as they are considered a short-term loan to pay for the cost of building a home. North Star Mortgage specializes in construction loans and can walk you through the loan process to carefully explain the interest rates and how they differ from a traditional mortgage.
Commercial Loans
Commercial loans are designed to help businesses with expenses such as the operational costs or for business expansion. Many business owners use them to assist in purchasing new equipment and machinery. There are five different types of commercial loans, contact us to find out which one is best for your business needs.
