Fixed-Rate for Predictable Payments

No Surprises. Competitive Rates and Terms. 

A fixed-rate conventional home loan guarantees your interest rate remains constant throughout the life of the loan. This ensures the principal and interest portion of your monthly payment won’t change. Spreading payments over a longer term can also lower your monthly payments, making it ideal for those planning to stay in their home for several years.

  • Available in 30, 20, 15, and 10-year terms
  • Locks in an interest rate, protecting against future market rate increases
  • Convenient Automatic Payment Option

Capfed® offers competitive interest rates on jumbo loans with amounts starting well above the industry standard.

An Adjustable-Rate Loan for a Lower Initial Rate

Lower Initial Interest Rate

An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a home loan in which the interest rate is based on an index that reflects current market conditions plus a margin that is added to the index. This index value varies and is available upon request or at application time.

  • Capped annual and lifetime rate adjustments after the initial term
  • Ideal for those planning to stay in their home for only a few years

ARM Loan Plans:

  • A 7/1 ARM has a fixed rate for the first 7 years. After that, the rate adjusts annually based on the index plus the margin, within set caps.

Parent-Child Loan Program

Family Means Everything. Competitive Rates and Terms. 

A Capitol Federal® Parent-Child loan is for individuals who have a parent, or a child, that may not be able to qualify for a mortgage loan on their own. This loan offers down payments as low as 25% and offers competitive rates compared to investment property loans. With the help of a parent or child, the dream of becoming a homeowner is achievable. Family helping family, it’s what we do at CapFed®.
 
 Parent-Child Loan Program Highlights:

  • Competitive rates and terms as compared to investment property loans.
  • As low as 25% down payment.
  • Up to 30-year loan terms.
