LEGAL STUFF

• *APR – Annual Percentage Rate
• **ARM – Adjustable Rate Mortgage (rate may increase after consummation of the loan
• ***Cash out refinance – Refinance means pulling out at least $2,000 or more or paying off a non-purchase second mortgage

All payments estimates above do not include amounts for property taxes and homeowner’s insurance premiums and your actual payment obligation will be greater.

Annual Percentage Rates and Payment Estimates quoted are based on a $100,000 loan amount except the 5/1 ARM, 7/1 ARM and Jumbo fixed loan amount is $418,000 and 20% down payment with the exception to the FHA and OHFA quotes which are based on a 3.5% down payment.

Qualifying Assumptions (unless otherwise noted): 45 day rate lock, $100K-$417K loan amount, credit scores 740+, Owner-occupied Purchase or rate/term refinance. Cash-out refinances (including paying off a non-purchase 2nd mortgage) could result in a slightly higher interest rate. The interest rate quoted are to serve as a guide only and may be different based on specific loan features. Please call for a specific quote.

We CANNOT lock in an interest rate on a loan with a voicemail or email. The customer MUST talk to the loan officer over the phone or in person before it can be confirmed. The market changes too frequently.
We recommend calling during business hours to make sure we have all the markets open and available.

Answer: FACT
Possible causes of chlorosis include poor drainage, damaged or compacted roots, high alkalinity and nutrient deficiencies in the plant.
