At EMA, we realize no two individuals are alike. This is reflected
in our products, which are designed to fit almost any real estate
financing circumstance. We work with you to help you achieve your
goals, tailoring interest rates and terms to build the right loan
for you.
The
Art of Building the Right Loan
To many, rate is seen as the only factor in determining cost. At
EMA, we know it takes an artful combination of competitive rates,
products, and terms to provide the greatest benefit to our customers.
Different loan products and their specific terms exist because of
differences in peoples’ needs and lifestyles. EMA offers the
following types of loans to help you achieve your goals:
- Fixed Rate Mortgages (more
info)
Attractive, low monthly payments made possible by lengthy loan
terms allow more money to be borrowed.* Duration: 10 through 30
years. Rate is higher than other programs. (more
info)
- Adjustable Rate Mortgages (more
info)
A deeply discounted rate in the first period results in lower
monthly payments, enabling you to borrow more money. Most advantageous
when you know you will occupy your home for a short time period.

- Fixed/Variable Rate and Balloon Mortgages
(more info)
Characterized by an initial fixed rate period (3, 5, 7, or 10
years) followed by an adjustable rate for a total of 30 years.
Initial fixed rate is lower than long-term fixed rate because
the fixed period is shorter. The resulting lower payments enable
you to borrow more money.* Often recommended for individuals who
are unsure how long they will occupy their home. (more

- Interest-Only Mortgages (more
info)
Payments are tax-deductible for most people up to a certain level.
Individuals in the maximum tax bracket who move frequently are
paired with this product, as it results in a lower payment and
allows for a higher loan amount.* (more
info)
- Combination/Piggyback/Multiple Mortgages
(more info)
Enable you to achieve a higher loan amount relative to the value
of the property. Specifically, to avoid paying a higher rate associated
with a “jumbo” loan or to avoid paying Private Mortgage
Insurance (PMI). PMI is not tax-deductible, whereas the interest
on secondary financing is. (more
info)
- Zero Points and No Cash Required at
Closing Loans (more
info)
These are not actually loan products, but can be applied to nearly
any loan product offered. The intent is to avoid paying out-of-pocket
expenses at the close of the loan. “No Cash” increases
your loan amount by adding normal closing costs to the loan. “Zero
Points,” on the other hand, eliminates certain fees at closing
but increases your interest rate. Both will increase your monthly
payment compared to a “regular” closing. (more

The EMA Difference
Offering competitively priced products is only half of the equation
when it comes to providing our customers the most attractive loan
package available. At EMA, the things you don’t have to worry
about and the decisions you don’t have to make translate into
a smooth loan closing—on-time, on-budget, and tailored specifically
to you.
More than 6,000 customers in the past two decades have chosen our
products
and care over the services of other firms. Not only do our customers
return time and again, they make the effort to refer their friends,
neighbors, and children because at EMA, we know how to match lifestyles
and needs with the right products and terms.
*The amount that can be borrowed is partially determined by how
much of the loan and interest can be repaid each month. Higher income
results in the ability to make larger payments. There are limitations
imposed by the IRS on the amount of interest a homeowner can deduct.
