Helping you reach your goals

First Federal Savings and Loan offers term loans and lines of credit for stabilized income properties. We generally lend on multifamily properties with five or more units, selected mixed use and most commercial property types.

All of our loans are underwritten and approved at our Home Office in San Rafael. We currently retain all of our loans in our local loan portfolio throughout the terms. The advantage to you is that when you borrow from us, your mortgage servicing remains local for your convenience.

We offer adjustable and fixed rate mortgages, as well as loans with shorter term fixed rate periods, converting to semi-annual adjustable. Best of all, our loan application process is quick and easy. So don't hesitate, contact us to discuss you particular financing needs today!

Advantages of borrowing from First Federal include:

• All of our loans are underwritten by local professionals who have extensive knowledge of the local real estate market.
• Our loan pricing is always competitive and we will not require any fees until your loan is approved.
• We can typically provide an estimate of the loan amount and terms we can offer upon receipt of some basic property operating information.
• Because all of our processing is handled in-house, we can usually close loans much quicker than other lenders, and you will work with the same individuals for all facets of your loan closing from beginning to end.
• If you have a question after your loan funds, you will call a loan department employee located in San Rafael, who is thoroughly knowledgeable about all of the loans in our portfolio. We will not transfer you from department to department for servicing.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage

If initial lower rates are driving your loan decision, then our adjustable rate mortgage may be your best choice. We offer loans that have a semi-annual rate change where your payments may change twice a year or loans which start at a fixed interest rate then become adjustable.

Fixed Rate Mortgage

If you plan on keeping the property for a long time, or don't think your income will change much, then a fixed rate mortgage may be the choice for you. With this mortgage, the interest rate will not change and you will always know exactly how much your payment is each month. Either program will be tailored to your needs at competitive terms.

Equity Lines of Credit on Commercial Real Estate

If you need more spending power, take out a line of credit against the equity in your real property. You can access your line of credit through our online banking service, by telephone, or in person.

Our Mortgage Loan Originators

The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (SAFE Act) requires employees of federally regulated lending institutions who act as mortgage loan originators ("MLO") to register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry ("Registry"). Each First Federal MLO is registered with the Registry and has a unique identification number. If you would like to confirm that the mortgage professional with whom you wish to conduct business is authorized to perform mortgage business, please find the MLO’s unique identification number below and perform a search at www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org to find information regarding the MLO who is registered with the NMLS.
