Frequently Asked Questions
A Conventional Fixed-Rate Home Loan is a mortgage with an interest rate that remains the same for the entire loan term, ensuring stable and predictable monthly payments for principal and interest.
Borrowers must have a minimum credit score of 620 and can make a down payment as low as 3%. The maximum loan amount is $806,500, and private mortgage insurance (PMI) is required for loans exceeding 80% of the home’s value.
To avoid PMI, make a down payment of 20% or more of the home’s purchase price or appraised value. This helps lower your monthly costs and increases your home equity faster.

FHA Loans - A Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan is a government-backed home mortgage loan with more flexible lending requirements than conventional loans. Because of this, FHA mortgage interest rates may be somewhat higher. The buyer will also have to pay monthly mortgage insurance premiums, along with their monthly loan payments. FHA loans come in 15- and 30-year options.
VA Loans -VA loans are home mortgages backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). With a VA loan, eligible service members and veterans can buy a home with little or no down payment or refinance an existing home to get cash out or a lower monthly payment. First State Community Bank offers 15- and 30-year options.
As an approved lender for the VA Home Loan Guarantee Program, First State Community Bank can offer service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses favorable terms on all types of home mortgage products.
