I CAN Mortgage
I CAN Mortgage Overview
I CAN Pick Any Mortgage Term from 8 to 30 Years
If there's one thing we've learned over the years it’s that no two borrowers are alike. Some borrowers might wish to pay off their mortgage over a shorter period, say, 8, 11, or 16 years, to save on interest and build home equity faster, while other borrowers might prefer a 20-, 25-, or 30-year term, spreading repayment over a longer period to reduce their mortgage payment and increase monthly cash flow. Because of the broad array of available terms (8-to-30 years), borrowers have more freedom and flexibility for selecting the ideal mortgage for their situation.

What is a Custom Mortgage?
A custom mortgage is a mortgage set up to help meet a borrower’s specific preferences within the framework of what a mortgage lender can offer. For example, New American Funding’s I Can Mortgage offers borrowers the chance to choose a loan term between 8 and 30 years in one-year increments. This flexibility also allows the borrower to customize their monthly payment.
What Mortgage Terms Are Available?
Mortgages are typically classified as short-term mortgages or long-term mortgages. Common short-term mortgages are 15-Year mortgages while 30-Year mortgages are common long-term mortgages. But term options can vary depending on the lender. Generally speaking, the shorter the term, the lower the interest rate.
What is the Best Mortgage Term for First-Time Buyers?
First-time buyers may benefit from a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage due to lower, consistent monthly payments, helping ease the transition into homeownership.
However, first-time homeowners that can afford to make higher monthly payments may prefer a short-term mortgage that results in paying their principal balance off faster.
Refinancing to a different term at a later time is also an option, allowing borrowers to rework their monthly payments to better meet their evolving needs.
Can I Choose My Own Mortgage Term?
Yes, under certain conditions a lender may work with borrowers to set a specific mortgage term. The I Can Mortgage at New American Funding allows borrowers to create a loan term that works for them, from 8 to 30 years in 1-year increments.
Can I Refinance Without Starting Over?
Yes, it is possible to refinance without starting over, but this varies from lender to lender. The I Can mortgage from New American Funding gives borrowers the flexibility to customize their loan term. If you’re already 3 years into a 30-year mortgage, it is possible to refinance into a 27-year mortgage and maintain the progress made on the loan.
