Fixed-Rate Mortgage
A fixed-rate mortgage, as the name suggests, is one in which the interest rate on your home loan remains constant during its term. This is distinct from a loan in which the interest rate fluctuates over time, such as an adjustable-rate mortgage, owing to the allure of a stable mortgage payment amount during the life of the loan.
Mortgages with a 30-year fixed rate
The classic 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has a fixed interest rate and fixed monthly payments. If you intend to stay in your house for at least seven years, this may be a suitable option. If you expect to move within seven years, fixed-rate loans are usually less expensive.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgages
An ARM (adjustable-rate mortgage) is a loan with a variable interest rate. Unlike fixed-rate mortgages, which have a constant interest rate for the life of the loan, the interest rate on ARM changes regularly. Because the initial interest rate of an ARM is lower than that of a fixed-rate mortgage, it may be a smart alternative to consider if you only plan to keep your home for a few years; you foresee an increase in future wages, or the current fixed mortgage interest rate is too expensive.
FHA Mortgage
An interest-only mortgage, as the name implies, is one in which borrowers only pay interest for a set period of time. The principal balance remains unaltered during this time, allowing for lower monthly mortgage payments early in the loan term. Borrowers who take out interest-only home loans may be able to cut their payments, allowing them to put more money toward retirement, college tuition, or other savings goals.
Jumbo Mortgage Programs
A jumbo mortgage, also known as a non-conforming loan, can help you acquire a mortgage in a high-cost area. A jumbo loan is one that is larger than the maximum Fannie Mae high-balance or conforming loan limit. While this varies by location, the current Fannie Mae loan ceiling in many high-cost areas is $822,375. If you need to borrow more than the conforming loan limit, a jumbo mortgage may be the greatest option for obtaining a large and attractive home.
Interest Only Mortage
Borrowers pay only interest on an interest-only mortgage for a set period of time. The principal, the balance remains unaltered during this time, allowing for lower monthly mortgage payments early in the loan term. Interest-only home loans allow borrowers to cut their payments, allowing them to redirect their income flow toward retirement, college tuition, or other savings goals.
