Our take: Pros & Cons
What we like
- Fixed, adjustable, jumbo, government, rural and construction financing options are listed.
- An online mortgage application and mortgage loan officers are available.
- HomeReady lists down payments as low as 3% for qualifying income and purchase areas, with homeownership education and primary-residence conditions.
What to consider
- The reviewed pages do not confirm SSN/ITIN, visa, foreign-credit or foreign-income acceptance. Confirm your specific program with the lender.
- Loan products are subject to credit approval, required collateral insurance and program-specific income, credit, property and documentation rules.
- Advertised examples are sample purchase quotes for a single-family primary residence with a 30-day lock. Borrower credit-score assumptions do not establish minimum program eligibility.

Additional lender considerations
- VA financing for qualified armed-services veterans lists no down payment or mortgage insurance.
- CARE lists low down payments funded by gifts or grants, no mortgage insurance and flexible credit guidelines.
- PATH is an immediately forgiven grant for eligible primary-residence financing with an Associated Bank first mortgage; location and qualification determine the amount.
- The Green Home Initiative offers a conditional $150 mortgage credit; apply by December 31, 2026 and close by February 28, 2027.
- Interest rates, APR, payments and closing costs depend on the exact loan scenario and can change; request a personalized Loan Estimate.
- PATH excludes refinancing, requires an Associated Bank first mortgage and requires first-time homebuyers to complete homeownership education; other exclusions apply.
- The $150 offer requires qualified energy-efficient improvements and excludes some products, including lot loans and simultaneous seconds. One discount per mortgage; it cannot be combined with other mortgage discounts and may change without notice.
