Where do I begin? From the word go, Tina was just amazing! We absolutely loved working with her. She was on top of everything. We literally closed three weeks from the first day that we saw our house. I don’t know how she did it but her and the F&M team were the best I’ve ever worked with.
Tina was quick to get back to me with answers to my questions. She was knowledgeable about many different kinds of loans and very friendly.
I highly, highly recommend working with her.

Not happy that they sold my loan before closing. I wanted to deal with F&M not the one they sold loan too. Total disappointment.

How do I know how much house I can afford?
Generally speaking, the average household can afford a house payment up to 30% of their monthly income. However, the amount that you can borrow will also depend upon your employment history, credit history, current savings and debts, and the amount of down payment you are willing to make. You may also be able to take advantage of special loan programs for first time buyers to purchase a home with a higher value. Give us a call, and we can help you determine exactly how much you can afford.
What is the difference between a fixed-rate loan and an adjustable-rate loan?
With a fixed-rate mortgage, the interest rate stays the same during the life of the loan. With an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), the interest changes periodically, typically in relation to an index. While the monthly payments that you make with a fixed-rate mortgage are relatively stable, payments on an ARM loan will likely change. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of mortgage, and the best way to select a loan product is by talking to us.
How is an index margin used in an ARM?
An index is an economic indicator that lenders use to set the interest rate for an ARM. Generally the interest rate that you pay is a combination of the index rate and a pre-specified margin. Three commonly used indices are the One-Year Treasury Bill, the Cost of Funds of the 11th District Federal Home Loan Bank (COFI), and the London InterBank Offering Rate (LIBOR).
How do I know which type of mortgage is best for me?
There is no simple formula to determine the type of mortgage that is best for you. This choice depends on a number of factors, including your current financial picture and how long you intend to keep your house. F&M Mortgage can help you evaluate your choices and help you make the most appropriate decision.
What does my mortgage payment incluide?
For most homeowners, the monthly mortgage payments include three separate parts:
- Principal: Repayment on the amount borrowed
- Interest: Payment to the lender for the amount borrowed
- Taxes & Insurance: Monthly payments are normally made into a special escrow account for items like hazard insurance and property taxes. This feature is sometimes optional, in which case the fees will be paid by you directly to the County Tax Assessor and property insurance company.
How much cash will I need to purchase a home?
The amount of cash that is necessary depends on a number of items. Generally speaking, though, you will need to supply:
- Earnest Money: The deposit that is supplied when you make an offer on the house

- Closing Costs: Costs associated with processing paperwork to purchase or refinance a house
