Our Loan Products

Every home financing situation is unique. That’s why The Money Store offers a wide range of loan options, so we can help you choose the ones that are right for you. Here’s an overview of the types of home loan products we offer.

Home Purchase

Planning to buy a home? Whether you’re an aspiring homeowner or a seasoned homebuyer, we offer numerous home purchase loans to help you achieve your goals. These include options for a wide range of property and occupancy types and down payment minimums as low as 10%, 3%, or even 0%.

Home Refinance

Is it time for a new mortgage strategy for your home? With a mortgage refinance, you may be able to reduce your interest rate and monthly payment, eliminate mortgage insurance premiums, replace an adjustable rate with a fixed rate, convert home equity into cash, or obtain other benefits.

Home Construction

Ready to make your dream home a reality? With a construction loan, you can obtain financing to build the home you want. Our one-time-close construction financing even allows you to purchase the lot, construct your home, and finance the finished property, all with a single loan.

Home Renovation

Want to upgrade, repair, or expand a home? Get the funds you need with one of our renovation loans. Renovation financing allows you to purchase and renovate a home with a single loan, or refinance and renovate a home you currently own.

Home Equity

Need cash for a large purchase, investment, or expense? Your home may be the answer. With home equity financing, you can take cash out of your home to spend on anything, including paying off high-interest debt, making home improvements, or covering college tuition.
