Residential Loans

An adjustable rate mortgage gives Evoke Bank the flexibility to create a mortgage for those who may have needs that are not met by a fixed rate mortgage. The loan may have lower beginning interest rates (and lower payments) than fixed rate mortgages and can increase or decrease after the initial adjustment period. Typically a person who may only stay in a home for a short period of time may choose this product to reduce the mortgage costs during their limited stay in the home.
