Home Select
What is a Home Select Loan?
It is a mortgage that works like a checking account, a revolutionary alternative to the traditional mortgage that allows funds deposited in the checking account to “Offset” the balance of your home loan, significantly reducing the amount of interest accruing daily. It is a first lien position, 30-year open-ended mortgage (HELOC) tied with an embedded transactional sweep-checking account.
