Mortgage Loan Options
30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage - A 30-year fixed rate mortgage gives you the security of always knowing what your loan payments will be. 30-year FRM's are usually the best choice when you are planning on staying in your home for a long time and have a generally set income rather than a highly fluctuating income.
15-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage - A 15-year fixed rate mortgage is a popular choice for refinancing. Many people use it to shorten the length of their loans, get a lower mortgage rate, or lower mortgage payments when refinancing. If you chose a 15 year FRM at the point of purchase, you generally will have high payments but will own your home free and clear quickly and are usually offered a lower interest rate than a 30-year FRM.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage - An adjustable rate mortgage most often gives you the ability to start out with a very low interest rate in the begining of your loan, which then adjusts to the market rate after the initial period. The most common adjustable rate mortgage is the 5/1 ARM. Usually an adjustable rate mortgage is a good choice for those who plan on moving in a few years or have fluctuating income.
