Low Interest Rates

As of December 2016, for a borrower with excellent credit purchasing a $250,000 home with a $50,000 down payment and a 30-year fixed rate loan from Flagstar Bank, the interest rate comes out to be 3.99 percent, which is the lowest disclosed rate out of all the home loan companies we've reviewed.

Competitive Closing Costs

Flagstar Bank charges closing costs of 2 to 5 percent of the total loan amount, which is slightly lower than industry average.

The Bad

  • Undisclosed Information

Undisclosed Information

Flagstar Bank has not disclosed minimum credit score requirements on its corporate website, making it difficult for borrowers with less-than-perfect credit to have an idea of whether or not they've got a shot at qualifying for a loan.

The Bottom Line

This mortgage company is hands down the best company I have used for making my mortgage payments. They do not hurry up and sell your loan off onto another company, hence having to resign up on yet another website to put your payment info in, etc. No cons really as of yet. I've been changed over to this company for almost a year now and am excited to keep them as they are very accommodating.

One rarely needs to contact their mortgage company. That said, when you do need an answer about your mortgage, you need to speak to a knowledgable person . Flagstar Bank people are there to help when I need them and that is a good feeling.
