Choosing the Home Loan That’s Right For You
Fixed-Rate Mortgage
A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that will not change during the life of the loan, making it a good option for borrowers who plan to stay in their home long term, especially when interest rates are low.
Adjustable-Rate Mortgage
An adjustable-rate mortgage has an interest rate that is fixed or “locked-in” for several years at the beginning of the loan. The initial interest rate for an ARM loan is usually less than that of a fixed-rate mortgage, allowing a borrower to purchase a larger home while keeping monthly payments affordable at the beginning of the loan before the rate adjusts.
FHA Loan
An FHA loan allows buyers to purchase a home with as little as 3.5% down (96.5% financed) and tends to be more lenient on areas such as credit, funds to close, and co-borrowers.
Jumbo Mortgage
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds regulated established loan limits for borrowers with a FICO credit score of 700 or higher, a debt-to-income ratio of 45% or less, and as little as 6 months’ worth of reserves.
VA Loan
a VA loan is a safe way for active-duty personnel, veterans, and disabled veterans to qualify for a mortgage of up to the current VA loan limit with no money down (100% financed). This type of loan requires a funding fee which is added into the amount of the loan paid over the life of the mortgage.
USDA Home Loan
a USDA home loan is available to qualified borrowers based on yearly income limits in specific areas that a home is located. USDA loans can allow a borrower to finance up to 100% of the value of the home with zero down payment and low private mortgage insurance (PMI), when compared to other government programs.
