Glossary of Terms

The financial world has it’s own language that can seem daunting. We’re here to help!

1st, 2nd, 3rd Mortgages

Mid Island Mortgage provides first mortgages, second mortgages, and third mortgages. We’ll do any purchase deals whether it’s your first or 100th home purchase.

Pre-Approvals

We work with you before, during, and after the mortgage process to make sure you are satisfied with our services. We work with you to get the best rates and we hold those rates for up to 120 days while you find your dream home.

No Fee Mortgages

We get our fees from qualified lenders, not from you – that means we do all the shopping to find you the best rate possible. We do everything in our power to deliver the exceptional service we’ve always been known for—and find new ways to make it better all the time.

Refinancing Your Home

Do you have a big purchase coming up? Or would you like to pay off some of your debts? Ask us about refinancing your home – use the equity you have in your home to help you and your family get ahead in life!

Rental Properties & Gulf Island Financing

The rules have changed – learn how to buy investment property with 20% money down. We work with you to make sure you are informed and comfortable with the process. We also deal with properties on Gulf Islands that banks won’t finance!

Stress Free

We help first time home buyers understand the mortgage process to help reduce stress. We’re thorough, upfront, and review each step so you won’t be overwhelmed. We are mindful of your needs. We strongly believe that everybody should be treated with equal consideration, care, and courtesy.
