When you’re in the market for a house, you shouldn’t have to worry about your mortgage lender. With enough other pieces of the home-buying puzzle to keep you scratching your head, take the guesswork out of the mortgage process by turning to Wisconsin’s No. 1 mortgage lender.

Back to basics: What is a mortgage anyway? And what will my monthly payments be?

• Glad you asked! A mortgage is a large loan – quite possibly the largest one you’ll ever seek – that can aid in the purchase of a home. It is secured through a lender like Associated Bank, by using the home as collateral for the loan.
• Through monthly payments, you’ll pay off your mortgage. The term of the mortgage (15 or 30 years), the amount of the mortgage loan itself and the interest on the loan all factor into what your monthly payments will be.
• To help determine how much of a mortgage payment you can afford, think about what other monthly costs you have. Here’s some helpful information to assist you in thinking through what your payments should look like.
• Your first steps in the process are to start your home search – some people do this on their own, while others solicit the help of a real estate agent – and to contact us about being your mortgage lender!

Mortgage options...

• 15-year mortgages: These mortgages can be paid off more quickly, but the monthly payment is greater. However, you’ll spend less with a 15-year mortgage due to fewer years of paying interest and typically a lower interest rate.
• 30-year mortgage: These are often the easier option for many homebuyers, because the monthly payment is lower. However, you’ll usually pay several thousand more over the life of the loan.
• Fixed-rate: With a fixed-rate loan, the interest rate is locked in, or fixed, for the duration of the mortgage.
• Adjustable-rate: The interest of an adjustable-rate loan will vary with time, but often starts out lower than a fixed-rate loan. This is an option worth considering if you expect your income to go up over time or you only plan to own the home for a short time.
