Full Spectrum Lending
Full Spectrum Lending is a subsidiary of Countrywide Financial Corporation, a diversified financial service holding company dealing primarily in residential mortgage banking and related businesses. Countrywide Financial acquired Treasury Bank, N.A. (headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia) in May 2001. With the additional segment of banking now added, the company was able to capitalize on the diverse opportunities in the lending and banking sectors.
Full Spectrum Lending offers a wide variety of refinance options for homeowners looking to consolidate their high-interest credit cards and debt. Features and benefits of these programs include:
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage refinance is deal for those planning to stay in their home five years or less, since you will pay lower upfront fees with reduced payments. Other benefits of refinancing your mortgage with an ARM include:
- Capped interest rate, which limits how much your rate and payment will change each year and over the life of the loan;
- Borrowing amounts up to $500,000;
- Lower monthly payments than a fixed rate loan;
- Interest may be tax deductible (consult your tax advisor);
- Easier approval process—ARMs typically allow higher consumer debt.
