The annual percentage rates (APRs) for the 30 Year Fixed, 15 Year Fixed, and 5 Year adjustable rate loans are calculated based on a purchase of single family, owner occupied residence with a down payment of 25%, a loan amount of $412,500.00, and a property located in Multnomah County, Oregon.

The annual percentage rates (APRs) for the Homeroom and Just for Starters fixed rate loans are calculated based on a purchase of a single family, owner occupied residence with a purchase price and loan amount of $550,000.00 and located in Multnomah County, Oregon.

The annual percentage rates (APRs) for the 30 year jumbo fixed rate and 5/5 jumbo ARM are calculated based on a purchase of a single family, owner occupied residence with a down payment of 25%, a loan amount of $766,551, and a property located in Multnomah County, Oregon.

The APR includes the approximate cost of prepaid finance charges, including 15 days of prepaid interest, a $795.00 origination fee, and any applicable points associated with the interest rate. Actual APRs for individual loans may differ.

All loan applications are subject to credit and property approval.

These mortgage rates are based upon a variety of assumptions and conditions, some of which may include a credit score of 780 or higher. Your loan’s interest rate will depend on specific characteristics of your transaction and your credit profile up to the time of closing.

Adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) interest rates and payments are subject to change during the loan term. That change can increase or decrease your monthly payment.

If your down payment or equity is less than 20% mortgage insurance may be required, which will increase the monthly payment and APR.

Assumes no other loans or liens on subject property.

Property and/or flood hazard insurance may be required.

Maximum loan limits may apply.

Home loan FAQs

Log into the OnPoint Mortgage loan center to check the status of your loan. You can also contact your Mortgage Loan Officer.
Prequalification is a rough calculation of the mortgage payment you can afford based on information you provide to your Mortgage Loan Officer.

Preapproval means you're essentially ready to start shopping for a house as you have formally applied for the mortgage, and we've determined that you are eligible for a mortgage of a certain amount.
When applying for a first mortgage, you'll need to provide original copies of the following items. You will need:
  • Most recent pay stubs for the past 30 days with year-to-date total.
  • W-2's for the past 2 years (for all jobs held in the last 2 years).
  • All pages of bank statements for all asset accounts for the last 2 months. If your accounts are with OnPoint we will gather this information for you.
  • Most recent award letter(s) and last 2 years' 1099s for retirement income such as social security, IRA accounts or pensions
  • Driver's license or other acceptable government-issued identification. If applicable, the Permanent Resident card is required.
  • Home insurance declaration page(s) with agent name and annual premium.
  • Most recent 2 year's federal tax returns including all forms and schedules including both personal, and business returns if applicable.
  • Most recent monthly statement(s) for mortgages or home equity lines from all residential properties currently owned.
  • If you claim rental income current lease/rental agreements signed by you and tenants.
  • If purchasing,fully signed sales agreement with all addenda, counteroffers, earnest money receipt and proof earnest money cleared your account.
  • If current residence is pending sale or recently sold, provide a sales agreementor Final HUD-1 Settlement Statement documenting the sale terms.
  • If applicable, copies of bankruptcy discharge, divorce decree or support orders.
If you have any questions about the documents you'll need to bring to your mortgage appointment, please contact us at 503.273.1755 or toll-free at 800.527.3932 ext. 5220.
Talking to your lender first can save you the time and frustration of finding a house that you can't afford. By speaking to a lender early in your home buying process, you can find out what you can afford in a house and get prequalified and preapproved. Your lender can also help answer questions about the steps you can take to improve credit or increase savings in order to be better prepared for home ownership.
We do not offer reverse mortgages. However, OnPoint offers other great home loan options with low rates and low payment options.
At this time, OnPoint does not do loans on undeveloped property. You may consider other lending options that may also fit your goals (such as a home equity line of credit, personal loan or personal line of credit).

Closing costs on a mortgage or home equity line of credit generally include title insurance, flood certification and an appraisal.
Discount points are considered a form of interest. Each point is equal to one percent of the loan amount. You pay them, up front, at your loan closing in exchange for a lower interest rate over the life of your loan. This means more money will be required at closing, however, you will have lower monthly payments over the term of your loan.

To determine whether it makes sense for you to pay discount points, you should compare the cost of the discount points to the monthly payments savings created by the lower interest rate. Divide the total cost of the discount points by the savings in each monthly payment. This calculation provides the number of payments you'll make before you actually begin to save money by paying discount points. If the number of months it will take to recoup the discount points is longer than you plan on having this mortgage, you should consider the loan program option that doesn't require discount points to be paid.
Yes! We offer a First Time Homebuyer loan program and several other mortgage options to finance your first home. Find a Mortgage Loan Officer to walk you through your options and help you pick the best first Mortgage for you.

Mortgage interest rates fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including inflation, the pace of economic growth, and Federal Reserve policy.

Over time, inflation has the largest influence on the level of interest rates. A modest rate of inflation will almost always lead to low interest rates, while concerns about rising inflation normally cause interest rates to increase. Our nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve, implements policies designed to keep inflation and interest rates relatively low and stable.
To get pre-approved for a mortgage, simply apply online. You may also set up an appointment with an OnPoint Mortgage Loan Officer by calling them directly or meeting them at your nearest branch.
