Home Loan Basics: "Types vs. Programs"

Mortgage Types can be broken down into 3 categories:

Conforming/Conventional:  A loan that meets underwriting requirements set forth by a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) (i.e. Fannie Mae and Freddie).
Non-Conforming/Jumbo:  A loan that does not meet GSE requirements, often due to the loan amount. Jumbo loans are frequently non-conforming.Government:  A loan that is guaranteed by a Governmental entity. FHA , VA and USDA/RHS loans are the most common of this type.

 

Mortgage programs are the defined repayment terms of your loan. The mortgage program you choose designates the length of your loan and can determine the amount of your down payment.

Finding the best loan program for your situation depends on several factors; Your current financial standing, how long you plan to remain in your home, and your financial goals all must be considered. It is necessary to consult with a Mortgage Banker who can take these factors into account in order to choose the right loan.

In the meantime, evaluate your options by learning about the main mortgage programs:

 

Fixed Rate Loans

  • A loan locked at a specific interest rate for the life of the loan.
  • Monthly payments will always be the same.
  • Inflation-proof.
  • If mortgage rates rise in the years following your loan approval, you’re protected because your payment will not increase.

 

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

  • Initially have lower interest rates than fixed-rate loans.
  • The rate will change, or adjust, once your loan term reaches the end of a designated fixed rate period.
  • Your payments may increase over time, requiring you to be financially prepared when that happens.
  • An attractive choice for borrowers who do not plan to remain in their mortgage for very long.
