  • Mortgage Loans

    MaineStream Finance offers financing to home buyers, particularly first-time home owners. The first mortgage is a 30-year, adjustable rate mortgage.

    MaineStream Finance primarily reaches out to first time homeowners who may have reasonable, but limited credit, so the mortgage rate generally is higher than conventional market rates. If you are considering applying to MaineStream Finance for financing to purchase a home or to refinance an existing mortgage, we recommend you compare MaineStream Finance rates with that of other lenders. Please note that we do not quote rates on this website.
