Come Tour Shreveport - Bossier!
 

Springtime in Shreveport Bossier

One thing is for sure, there is always something going on in our area! Its tremendous growth has merged our Old South elegance with gleaming glass high-rise buildings and nestled them among the natural splendor of our "Sportsman's Paradise." You can enjoy one of the many festivals that keep us busy, along with a range of cuisines, sports, shopping, history, arts and entertainment!

Good food, good music, good times!

Our history is vast with Civil War reenactments at Mansfield State Historic Site and Pleasant Hill, or you can trace the First and Second Campaigns of the Red River up Bayou Boeuf , or to Natchitoches (the film "Steel Magnolias" was made there). But wherever you go, you'll hear the tales of Captain Henry Miller Shrever, who cleared a 180 mile log jam, opening the Red River to the future site of Shreveport. You will also hear about that infamous pair, Bonnie and Clyde, who had their last and fateful encounter with the law near Arcadia.

Enjoy the Arts?
Our beautifully restored Strand Theater is one of the country's finest, showcasing our Broadway Series and so much more. Or you can choose your favorite ticket from our own Shreveport symphony, ballet or opera.

Lake Bruin has it all!

Financing Your Home >Hybrids Offer Low Rates In the field of home financing, "hybrid" mortgages have grown in popularity with homebuyers. With interest rates gradually rising in today's market, the hybrid mortgage product saves money, provides a period of fixed-rate security and helps buyers qualify for financing. Hybrid mortgage loans offer a very low fixed-rate for a period of time, usually from 5 to 7 years, then revert to an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) for the remainder of the term of the loan. The interest rate is typically lower than with a 30-year fixed-rate loan, and the borrower has the assurance that the rate will not change for a period of years. Such a loan works well for buyers who plan on reselling the home within a finite period. Other specialty mortgages now available include an ARM loan with a provision allowing it to be converted to a fixed-rate loan when that is a practical step for the borrower. Still others offer an interest-only loan that requires payments to be made on the interest only for a specified number of years, then reverts to an amortized loan with interest and principal payments each month. Consult with an experienced mortgage professional to determine whether one of these loan products will meet your needs.
