WELCOME
First Western Federal Savings Bank
We run our bank like a business, not a bank.
At First Western Federal Savings Bank, you’ll find a type of honesty in our non-recourse lending program that you won’t find anywhere else. We take extraordinary pride in providing simple, straightforward answers to your important questions about buying investment real estate and our financing programs. As a portfolio lender for over 30 years, every loan we make stays in-house which means the same person works your application from start to finish and throughout the loan’s repayment so you can always know the status of your deal.
We are excited to be able to offer IRA Non-Recourse Loans to help you achieve your retirement and financial goals. We can help you leverage your retirement account to buy real investment property inside your retirement account. Imagine, tax-deferred (or tax-free!) appreciation AND income from an asset you own, manage and control. Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds have margin… investment property has us!
Our knowledge will benefit you, responsiveness will shock you, and our guidance will impress you. From investment property loans to selling CRP payments and niches in between, specialized lending is our specialty! Give us a call or shoot us an email if you would like to discuss your “deal” with one of our lending experts.
