Home Mortgage Options in Oklahoma


Many interested homebuyers in Oklahoma don’t realize the wide variety of home financing options available to help them purchase their new home. From conventional mortgages to government-backed loans with flexible qualifying requirements, our mortgage originators can help you find the right loan to cover your home purchase, construction, renovation, or refinance. 

Conventional Mortgages


A conventional mortgage, also called a “conforming loan,” is offered directly from your bank. Conventional mortgages often come with varying term lengths, and can be used to purchase a home or refinance your existing home loan. With a conventional home loan:
 
  • Down payments are generally required. Smaller down payments may require an additional private mortgage insurance (PMI) fee each month
  • When used for refinancing, you may be able to cash-out your equity to be used for debt consolidation or other purposes
  • Interest rates can be fixed or adjustable (resetting per the current market rate, at regular intervals)

Use our Mortgage Calculator (fixed rate) and Adjustable Rate Mortgage Calculator to compare your financing options. 

 Use a Bridge Loan to Cover your Down Payment

Homebuyers who are selling their current home often use those proceeds to make a down payment on their new home. If you need to secure funding for your new home before your current home sells, you may be able to utilize a bridge loan:

  • Bridge loans are a short-term lending product
  • Bridge loans use the equity in your current residence to cover the down payment for your new home loan
  • With a bridge loan, you make interest only payments, paying it off in full when your previous home sells
