Here’s an overview of what a monthly mortgage payment typically includes:
Principal:
This is the base amount you borrowed to purchase your home. Each monthly payment reduces your principal balance, gradually increasing your home equity.
Interest:
Interest is the cost of borrowing money from your lender. Early on, a large portion of your monthly payment goes towards interest, but it decreases over time as you pay down the principal.
PMI (If Applicable):
Private Mortgage Insurance is typically required when your down payment is less than 20% of the home’s value. PMI protects the lender in case you default on the loan.
Home Insurance:
Homeowners insurance covers your home in case of damage from things like fire, theft, or natural disasters. Your lender may require you to include the insurance cost in your monthly payments.
Property Tax:
Property taxes are local taxes that fund public services and are based on your home’s assessed value. This is typically an annual tax, but for convenience, most people include it in their monthly mortgage payments
Monthly HOA Fee’s:
Homeowners Association (HOA) fees are applicable if you live in a community governed by an HOA. These fees cover shared services and amenities. Make sure to budget for this monthly cost.

Types of Loans We Offer
Conventional Home Loan
Construction-to-Permanent loans cover not only the construction period but are then converted to the traditional mortgage. Homebuyers make interest only payments. Since this type of loan rolls into a conventional mortgage, buyers will only pay one set of closing costs.
Refinance
Refinances are undertaken by borrowers to take advantage of market conditions, adjust their monthly budget, limit their exposure during financial difficulty, simplify debt management, or gain a tax advantage in certain situations.
First Time Home Buyers
Starboard Financial holds a special place for first-time home buyers in our company philosophy. Giving first-time home buyers the advice and knowledge to make an informed home buying decision is one of our truest pleasures.
Veteran Options
Starboard is a proud supporter of retired, reservist, and active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces, by providing easy access to home loans guaranteed through the Veterans’ Administration.
Construction Loans
Construction-only loans, as the name implies, funds only the build of the house. It does not roll into the mortgage. Qualifying standards are more difficult, and interest rates are likely to be higher than traditional loans due to the prime-plus interest rate, since there is a higher level of risk.
