This Is How Veterans Win

A veteran doesn't win because a bank put a flag in an ad. A veteran wins when somebody puts the bank's rate, points, APR and lender fees on one side of the page and the same loan — priced across the market — on the other, before anything gets signed. Every dollar a veteran doesn't hand over in points and fees is a dollar that stays with their family. Publishing this comparison, on the record, every day, is how we truly help our military community: not with a slogan — with the numbers.

This Is How First-Time Buyers Win

A first-time buyer doesn't win because an ad said "3.5% down." A first-time buyer wins when somebody shows them the whole cost — rate, APR, points, mortgage insurance and lender fees — next to the same FHA loan priced across the market, before they sign. That's how we truly help our first-time homebuyer community: not with a headline — with the numbers, where everyone can check them.

Truist's Programs, Cited and Explained

Truist published rate table (cited: truist.com)

To its credit, Truist publishes a full example table — and every row of it carries discount points: 0.712 on conventional, 0.842 on FHA, 0.935 on VA. Points are prepaid interest: on its $250,000 VA example, 0.935 points is $2,337.50 due at closing to hold the advertised rate.

Same program, or the same outcome, here: Every Freeman Douglas figure on this page is priced at 0 points. If a bank's rate only exists with points attached, the honest comparison is APR and total lender charges — which is exactly the table above.

Same program. Same guidelines. Way cheaper — because one bank gives you their price for it, and we price it across the market. Today's matched comparison is in the cards above.

How This Comparison Is Built (Methodology)

Bank figures are taken from Truist's own published rate pages and disclosures, captured with the date shown and linked below. Freeman Douglas figures are that day's priced scenario: $450,000 loan, 30-year fixed, primary residence, single-family, borrower-paid compensation, 0 points; down payments VA 0%, FHA 3.5%, conventional 5%. Payments are principal & interest only, recalculated from the amortization formula, never copied from an advertisement. Discount points are never lumped in with origination charges; each cost keeps its own label. Rates change daily — when this page's figures roll forward, the date above rolls with them.

Questions Borrowers Ask About Truist Mortgages

Why is Truist's FHA APR so much higher than its rate?

FHA loans carry upfront and annual mortgage insurance, which APR captures and the note rate does not — 6.700% rate vs 7.642% APR in Truist's own example. That gap is FHA's structure, not a Truist markup, and it is why FHA comparisons must be run on APR and total cost.

Are Truist's rates the rates I would get?

They are examples on stated assumptions (740/680/720 credit scores, specific down payments). Your scenario gets priced individually — here, in writing, the same day you ask.
