Frequently Asked Questions: Home Loans at Park Bank
Unlike large national banks, where your application is just a number in a distant processing center, Park Bank makes decisions right here in the Coulee Region. Our local expertise means we understand the specific nuances of the La Crosse real estate market, resulting in faster preapprovals, more personal communication, and a closing process that is tailored to our local title companies and Realtors. Plus, we never sell our mortgage servicing—your loan stays here with us.
Yes! We are passionate about helping first-time buyers transition from renting to owning. We offer
several low-down-payment programs. Our loan officers take the time to explain every step, from PMI to credit requirements, ensuring you feel confident in your first purchase.
Absolutely. Park Bank is a preferred area lender for construction. We offer specialized
Construction-to-Permanent loans and Lot Loans. Our construction loans feature fast, free,
unlimited daily draws and local oversight, allowing for a seamless transition into a traditional
mortgage once your home is complete without duplicate closing costs.
Getting pre-approved is the most important first step in the La Crosse market. A Park Bank preapproval is a comprehensive, underwritten review of your creditworthiness. You can start by
visiting one of our offices in Holme, La Crosse and Sparta, or beginning an application through our secure online portal. Once reviewed, we provide a written commitment that strengthens your negotiating power with sellers.
Private mortgage insurance, or PMI, is an insurance that protects the lender/investor if you are unable to pay your mortgage. PMI is required for mortgages if less than a 20% down payment is made. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae backed loans, like those provided by Park Bank, allow for cancellation of private mortgage insurance when there is equity greater than 20%.
When interest rates fall lower than what you are paying with your fixed rate mortgage, you may want to consider refinancing. Your personal banker will help you determine if it makes sense for you, but a good guide is to calculate how long it will take to get back the costs to refinance. If it is two years or less then it probably makes sense.
This can be one of the most frustrating aspects of taking out a mortgage. Just when you develop a relationship with your banker and buy your dream home, a letter is sent that you now must send your payments (and questions) to someone in another part of the country. This is not a problem for Park Bank mortgage customers because in over a century, Park Bank has never sold servicing for a Park Bank mortgage…ever!

New construction or remodeling is stressful enough without having to worry about the financing. Park Bank can make this process much easier with our construction loans, start to finish, in our Holmen, La Crosse or Sparta locations.

Construction loans allow for disbursement to contractors during the construction process, converting to a regular mortgage once the construction is complete.
