Understanding the Mortgage Options at Northpoint Mortgage

Every homebuyer’s journey looks different – and the loan you choose should be just as unique as your goals, budget, and long-term plans. At Northpoint Mortgage, we offer a full suite of mortgage products designed to meet borrowers where they are and help them move confidently toward homeownership.

Whether you are purchasing your first home, moving up, renovating, refinancing, or planning for retirement, the right loan program can make all the difference. Below is a clear breakdown of the mortgage options available through Northpoint Mortgage loan officers in Georgia and surrounding states.

Conventional Home Loans

Conventional loans remain one of the most popular options for today’s buyers thanks to their flexibility, competitive rates, and ability to fit a wide range of financial profiles.

Best for buyers who:

• Have strong credit 
• Want competitive interest rates 
• Plan to put 3% to 20% down 
• Prefer flexible loan terms 

Why it works:
Conventional financing rewards financially stable buyers with strong pricing, lower mortgage insurance options, and the ability to customize their loan structure.

VA Home Loans

VA loans are a powerful benefit available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, and some surviving spouses. These loans are backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and offer some of the strongest buyer advantages in the industry.

Benefits include:

• 0 percent down payment 
• No monthly mortgage insurance 
• Flexible credit guidelines 
• Competitive interest rates 

Why it works:
This program is designed to honor those who served by making homeownership more achievable and more affordable.

FHA Home Loans

An FHA loan is designed to help more buyers qualify, especially those who may not have perfect credit or large savings for a down payment.

Ideal for:

• First-time buyers 
• Buyers with limited down payment 
• Borrowers rebuilding credit 

Why it works:
FHA guidelines make qualifying easier while still offering access to competitive rates and manageable monthly payments.

Renovation Loans

A renovation loan allows buyers to purchase a home and finance improvements all in one mortgage.

Great for:

• Buyers who want to update or repair the home 
• Purchasing a fixer-upper 
• Homeowners looking to remodel or upgrade 

Why it works:
Rolling renovation costs into the mortgage lets buyers create a home they love with one payment and one loan, instead of relying on high-interest financing or saving for years.

New Construction Loans

New build or new construction loans give buyers the opportunity to purchase a home that’s being built from the ground up.

Perfect for:

• Buyers working with a builder 
• Those who want modern finishes, layouts, and energy efficiency 
• Homeowners selecting a community development with new amenities 

Why it works:
These loans are structured to make the process smooth, with financing options designed around builder timelines and buyer needs.

Reverse Mortgages

A reverse mortgage can be a powerful tool for homeowners age 62 and older who want to tap into their home equity while remaining in their home.

Benefits:

• No monthly mortgage payment required 
• Access to tax-free funds from home equity 
• Increased financial stability in retirement 

Why it works:
This program helps retirees supplement income, pay off existing debt, or age in place more comfortably.

Refinance Options

Northpoint Mortgage also offers a range of refinance solutions, including:

• Rate-and-term refinance 
• Cash-out refinance 
• FHA or VA streamline refinance 
• Equity access 

Why it works:
Refinancing can reduce monthly payments, consolidate debt, remove mortgage insurance, or free up cash for projects, college, or investments.

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs)

A HELOC allows homeowners to borrow against the equity they’ve built and draw funds as needed.

Useful for:

• Home improvements 
• Debt consolidation 
• Emergency reserves 
• Large purchase planning 

Why it works:
A HELOC provides flexible access to funds with interest-only options and the ability to draw money over time instead of in one lump sum.
