Overview

The Near Prime mortgage from Peoples Bank is a good choice for those who miss the mark for a regular bank mortgage but don’t have major credit problems or need to use their income in a very flexible way. Peoples Bank offers competitive interest rates and a standard 1% setup fee. They stand out because they don’t hike rates for minor issues—if you qualify, you’re likely to get the low rate they advertise. They also have a 30-year payment plan to keep monthly costs down. To qualify, you need fairly good credit, ideally over 650. For more details on the policy or questions, feel free to get in touch.

Note: As of December 2023 Peoples Bank temporarily suspended their alternative mortgages during a system upgrade.
