10/1 ARM First Time Homebuyer Promotion
Big Savings for First Time Homebuyers
If you’re ready to buy your first home, we want to help you save money. Suncoast has enhanced our First Time Homebuyer 10/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) program to expand opportunities for new homebuyers.*
Why should first time homebuyers choose our 10/1 ARM program?
- Maintain your interest rate for at least 10 years
- Up to 97% financing available
- Save on your monthly payments since private mortgage insurance isn’t required
- Ask us how you may qualify with as little as 1% of your own funds when combined with a 2% gift from an immediate family member
Get up to $3,000 Toward Closing Costs
Suncoast will also pay up to $3,000 toward your qualifying closing costs** when you purchase your primary residence with our 10/1 ARM program for first time homebuyers.
New and Improved Program for First Time Homebuyers
Make your dream of owning a home come true with our First Time Homebuyer 10/1 ARM program.
- More affordable down payment!
You and your family can work together to provide your down payment! We’ve reduced the down payment requirement to a minimum of 1% from the member’s own funds, allowing an immediate family member to gift you the other 2%. - Reduced origination fee!
To make it easier for you, we’ve reduced the origination fee. - More borrowing power!
You can now borrow up to 97% of the sale price or the appraisal, whichever is less, thanks to our increased loan-to-value ratio (LTV). For example, if the home sells and appraises for $100,000, your 10/1 ARM mortgage loan amount could be up to $97,000. The other 3% or $3,000 represents your down payment.
- Increased maximum loan amount!
We’ve increased the maximum loan amount to $450,000. This helps new homebuyers have more options to choose from when house hunting for an affordable home. - No private mortgage insurance requirement!
New homebuyers can save money with our 10/1 ARM program because private mortgage insurance is not required. That helps cut down on monthly payment costs.

**Suncoast will contribute up to $3,000 (Closing Costs Benefit) toward your closing costs when you select our First Time Homebuyer 10/1 ARM product for the purchase or refinance of your primary residence. Suncoast will not pay closing costs for discount points to obtain a lower rate or monies necessary to establish escrow accounts (taxes and insurance). If the mortgage is paid in full during the first 24 monthly payments of the loan, borrowers will be required to repay the Closing Costs Benefit to Suncoast for the amount reflected as “Lenders Credits” on the Closing Disclosure. The 24 month term begins with the first payment due date of the loan. All Sellers paid closing costs will be credited prior to any credits for the Closing Cost Benefit to be provided by Suncoast. Not to be combined with any other offers.
