A free standing home on fee simple or leasehold land. This includes Planned Unit developments, a form of common interest subdivisions. Permanent Construction loans are available.

Common-interest ownership consists of a parcel of land together with all the buildings and improvements (e.g. homes, recreational facilities, and common area improvements) that have been constructed upon that land. While there are many different ways of dividing the ownership, common-interest subdivisions generally include:

1. Individual ownership of an interest, unit, housing lot or space.
2. Ownership in common with others in the recreational facilities and green belts.
3. Some form of an association to collect proportionate shares of the common-interest’s expenses, and to disburse the same for upkeep, reserves and services rendered.

We all work with the major forms of common-interest ownership every day. Planned unit developments (PUDs), which combine individual lot ownership with areas owned in common with the other lot owners. Normally these are recreational facilities and private streets. The condominium is another major form of common-interest ownership. A condominium is an estate in real property in which one holds a separate fee title to the airspace in a unit and an undivided interest in common with the other owners to the common areas.

Fixed rate loans have a fixed interest rate over the life of the loan, e.g. 15-30 years. They are broken into three basic categories:

1. Conforming, up to $453,100;
2. High Balance Conforming up to $679,650 (maximum loan amount is determined county by county); and
3. Jumbo, in excess of $679,650.

Conforming interest rates are generally lower than High Balance and Jumbo and require complete income, asset and credit documentation. It should be noted that conforming loan amounts can be funded on Jumbo pricing according to the Jumbo loan's underwriting guidelines. Loan limits vary by county.

Some fixed rate programs are available with an initial interest only period, usually 5-10 years. After the interest only period, the loan re-amortizes over the remaining term of the loan.

Variable rate loans provide terms where in the interest rate/payment can adjust at predetermined intervals over the life of the loan. There are always rate adjustment caps, which provide limitations that protect the borrower from excessive payment adjustments.Traditional variable rate loans have a variety of introductory periods ranging from 1 month to 10 years. Interest only ARM programs are available. Generally speaking, the interest only period corresponds with the introductory rate period, and then is amortized over the remaining term of the loan.

Variable rate loans are generally written with a term of 30 years.
