You’re ready to make one of the biggest commitments of your life, now what? We probably can’t help write your vows or guarantee the caterer will show up on time, but we’re experts at financing the big day expenses.

Financing Options

You've waited so long to find the love of your life. Here's how we can help you afford the perfect ring, the big ceremony and the honeymoon getaway you two deserve:

  • Visa Credit Cards - Enjoy security, low rates, rewards points, and the convenience of making purchases in-person and online from your favorite retailers.
  • Signature Loans - A simple fixed rate loan with a consistent monthly payment, great for keeping a steady budget!
  • Personal Lines of Credit - A revolving line of credit that's there any time you need it. You can keep this account for years to come, even if you don't use it.

Wedding Budgeting Tips

  1. Search for Bargains. The caterer you hire may be willing to negotiate on the cost of children's meals and the venue you're considering may be cheaper in the Fall versus the Spring; always look for the best deals.
  2. Take on some DIY projects. Consider making your own party favors, invitations, center pieces, and more. The more you do yourself, the less you'll have to pay someone else to do.
  3. Ditch the expectations. You're not entitled to let your guests bring a plus one, your wedding rings don't have to cost 3 months salary, and you don't have to invite everyone of your extended family members. Plan your wedding with your budget in mind and don't worry about what every one is expecting.

Buying Your First Home

A home is, without a doubt, one of the largest purchases most people will ever make; luckily this is one of our areas of expertise. There are many types of Mortgages for you to consider as a first-time home owner:

  • Conventional Fixed Rate Mortgage - A mortgage option with a 15-year, 20-year or 30-year fixed rate. A great option to keep your payments predictable and manageable.
  • FHA Mortgage - Great for first time home owners because of the low down payment and maximum loan amount.
  • VA Mortgage - Active duty and those who served in the military can qualify for this mortgage with no down payment.

Home Buying Tips

  1. Select a quality Mortgage Lender - like Securityplus! Your Mortgage Lender should provide you with:
    • Extraordinary customer service
    • Honesty, patience & understanding
    • Mortgage loan product(s) that fit your needs
    • Flexibility to life changes
  2. Get pre-approved. Before you select a licensed Real Estate Agent and explore potential homes, get pre-approved by your selected Mortgage Lender.
  3. Find an agent that's a good fit. When selecting a licensed Real Estate Agent, make sure that he/she is familiar with your desired living area and can accommodate your home buying needs.
  4. Be cooperative and prepared. Provide all necessary documentation to your Lender in a timely manner.
  5. Be patient. The mortgage process can be lengthy and challenging. Do not panic if unexpected surprises arise.
