Bridge Loans
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used to bridge the gap between buying a home and selling your previous one. Circumstances might have you buy before you sell, which means you would not have the profit of the sale of your home to apply to your new home’s down payment. This could present challenges if you are dependent on that money to purchase your new place.
A bridge loan from Keen Bank can help with providing quick financing and eliminate any financial contingencies in an offer. You can also avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) by putting down 20 percent or more of your down payment with the help of a bridge loan. Our experienced mortgage loan officers are dedicated to making the financing process easy and we are locally owned—giving us the ability to make decisions quickly. With a bridge loan from Keen Bank, we can offer:
- Flexible terms
- Competitive rates
- Quick financing
- No prepayment penalties
Refinancing
If you are thinking about refinancing your home, our knowledgeable team of lenders can help you evaluate what's right for you. We take the time to understand the interest rate on your current mortgage and the market when you purchased your home to determine if refinancing can offer you a benefit such as a better interest rate, pay off the loan sooner or lower your monthly payments. Regardless of where you have your current home loan—whether it's with Keen Bank or another financial institution—we are ready and eager to work alongside homeowners and help them determine what solution fits their long-term financial goals.
Home Equity Loans
The advantage of owning a home is equity—the difference between current market value and the amount you owe. This gives homeowners the flexibility to get more from their home and borrow money from the equity of their home for major expenses such as home improvement projects, renovations, educational expenses and debt consolidation.
The amount you can borrow is largely determined by taking your home's appraised or fair market value and subtracting the balances of any outstanding mortgages and liens on the property. Our experienced team of lenders are available to answer any questions and develop a repayment schedule for a specific period of time.
Home Equity Lines of Credit
Home equity lines of credit can offer you quick access to cash and provides the ability to plan for the unexpected and borrow up to an established limit when life throws a curve ball without having to reapply for a loan. You only pay interest on the amount of money you use when you need it.
Keen Bank will not perform a credit check upon receipt of an online loan application. When you complete an application online, a Keen Bank lender will contact you and learn more about your needs and how they can help you, prior to pulling a credit check. If you have questions, please contact us 507.835.2740.
