Types of Mortgage Loans
With this most common type of mortgage, the monthly principal and interest payment stays the same throughout the life of the loan. You can get a 10, 15, 20, or 30-year fixed mortgage rate for primary residences, second/vacation homes, and rental properties.
Today’s Featured Conventional Mortgage & Refinance Rates
| Mortgage Type | Rate | APR* | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Year Fixed | 6.500% | 6.640% | 0.875% |
| 20 Year Fixed | 6.250% | 6.431% | 0.875% |
| 15 Year Fixed | 6.250% | 6.417% | .500% |
APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates effective as of 06/26/2024. All loans are subject to approval. APR assumes a $300,000 loan amount with escrows a FICO score of 760 or higher for a loan for an owner-occupied (primary residence), single-family dwelling in New York State with a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less, and no cash-out.
For example, a 30-year, $300,000 conforming mortgage with a fixed APR of 6.627% has an approximate payment amount of $1,896.20. Real estate taxes, insurance, and private mortgage insurance (if applicable) are not included; therefore the actual payment obligation will be greater. Your rate may vary based on your creditworthiness, loan amount, purpose, property type, occupancy, LTV, lock period, and other credit characteristics.
All rates and terms are subject to change without notice. No rate is guaranteed without a valid rate lock. A point is equal to 1% of the loan amount’s balance. Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is required on mortgages that exceed 80% loan-to-value (LTV). When refinancing, the maximum loan-to-value is 80% if you take cash out. Contact a TEG Mortgage Officer for further details. Other terms and conditions may apply.
When homebuyers don’t meet conventional mortgage criteria, a portfolio loan can be the answer to getting approved for a mortgage. By originating and retaining the loan at TEGFCU, we are not bound by the standard guidelines that are required for loans that can be sold on the secondary market. This gives us more flexibility regarding the qualification criteria to consider unique borrower situations.
Is your footprint growing? If you’re buying a larger home or moving to an area where housing costs are higher, you may need a bigger loan. TEG may be able to help with a jumbo loan, which lets you borrow higher loan amounts for more expensive homes.
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, two government agencies that guarantee loans, have conforming limits that vary based on property type and county. In high-balance counties in NY (Westchester, Putnam & Rockland for our charter area) the high-balance conforming limit is $1,149,825 for a single family. $766,550 is the standard conventional single-family limit.
Since federal agencies don’t back jumbo loans, their credit requirements tend to be stricter. Borrowers typically need to have better credit, larger down payments, and greater post-closing reserves.
Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Veterans Administration (VA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) loans are government-backed mortgage programs offering no or low-down payment options and more flexible qualification guidelines. Ask us if one of these programs is appropriate for your situation.
First Credit Corporation and TEG have partnered to offer financing for mobile home ownership within a mobile home park (no private or rented land).
- Long-term financing with low monthly payments
- Low down payment
- No prepayment penalty
- Homeowner’s insurance packages
To apply for a mobile home loan, contact us or call First Credit Corporation at (800) 562-6036 and let them know you are a TEGFCU member.

JJ made our HELOC loan process run smoothly. From start to finish he kept us informed of the progress of the loan and answered all the questions we had during the process. He even followed up after the closing to check how it went. I would not hesitate to recommend TEG.
Jessica and the TEG team were extremely helpful in finding a home loan that would suit our needs. Not only was she knowledgeable, she also went above and beyond answering questions and emails after hours. We ended up doing a construction to perm loan. This being the first time my husband and I were building, we had so many questions. It was comforting to know that Jessica was able to answer our questions at any time. I would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone searching for a home loan!
Mathew Bannan was the best I couldn’t have asked for more completely upfront with us and walked us through every step of the process made it simple and easy for us to understand and our loan was completed.
Easy to deal with. Scott and the team at TEG were a pleasure to work with. They made my re-fi experience so easy and were extremely accommodating to our needs to especially when it came to the closing. I would highly recommend Scott and TEG for anyone needing a mortgage or looking to re-fi as I did.
Jeff was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of our interaction. Whenever we had concerns, he was easily able to put our minds at ease. We recommend him to anyone looking for the best in the business. He truly was awesome.
