Pre-approval gets you movin’

Getting a pre-approval letter from nbkc lets sellers know you’re a serious buyer. It’s a crucial step in the homebuying journey because the letter proves that you have a lender supporting you, can afford the offer you made and will have a smooth closing.

Pre-qualification

Pre-approval

Pre-qualification

Pre-qualification is the first step in getting pre-approved. It gives us a high-level overview of your financial situation — including your income, assets and any debts. Pre-qualification gives us a good idea of your creditworthiness and an estimate of how much you can borrow.

Types of home loans

nbkc offers fixed mortgage rates for 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30-year terms.

  • Interest rate remains the same throughout the loan
  • Allows for easier budgeting - the payment is the same each month
  • Loan payments are not affected by inflation or fluctuating interest rates

The most common mortgage type is a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. Many buyers choose the mortgage because it provides a lower monthly payment and potential savings on interest over time.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is a great choice if you plan to stay in your home for many years.

We also offer adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Our most popular ARM loans have a fixed-interest rate of five years. An ARM loan may be the right choice for you if you plan on moving prior to the date that your fixed-rate ends. Consider the following.

  • Are you planning on selling your home before the fixed-rate term expires?
  • Do you plan on incurring more debt? If so, will you be able to afford the ARM loan payments if your interest rate increases?
  • Do you anticipate an increase in your annual income that could cover any increase in your ARM loan payment?

An FHA loan is federally insured by the US Housing Administration. It’s a good option if you have a fair-to-good credit score, want to use less out-of-pocket cash than most conventional loans or do not qualify for conventional financing.

  • FHA loans are a smart choice for first-time home buyers
  • Down payments can be as low as 3.5% of the purchase price
  • Loan options for those with low-to-moderate income
  • Available for refinance of fixed and adjustable-rate mortgages

Generally speaking, FHA standards are not as strict as other loans when it comes to mortgage insurance. Our FHA loan specialists are fully trained in the HUD-insured loan industry — so they can help you find information on guidelines to determine if you qualify for an FHA loan.
