Choosing a Loan Program
The right type of mortgage for you depends on many different factors.
Conventional and Jumbo Loans
Conventional loans are secured by government sponsored entities or GSE's such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Fixed Rate Mortgages
A loan program where your monthly principal and interest payments never change.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)
These loans generally begin with an interest rate that is below a comparable fixed rate mortgage, and could allow you to buy a more expensive home.
London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
This index is used to determine the interest rate for some types of ARMs.
Reverse Mortgages
A reverse mortgage is a special type of loan made to older homeowners to enable them to convert the equity in their home into cash.
