Homebuyers: What Do You Know About Mortgage Loans?

As a homebuyer, it's important for you to understand mortgage loans. Some of the information may seem complex - the differences between mortgage loans, construction loans, jumbo loans and why you may need each one.

Some of the information may seem a bit more straightforward, like the differences between fixed rate mortgage loans and adjustable rate loans. So what are some of these differences?

To begin with, many adjustable rate mortgages will start out with a fixed interest rate that will later adjust over time. The introductory rate of an adjustable rate mortgage is likely to be lower than that of a fixed rate mortgage, and then the rate will be determined by the federal interest rate and other factors.

A fixed rate mortgage, however, does not have a flexible rate. Your payments will be the same for the life of your loan.

Do you know whether you would be better applying for a fixed rate mortgage or an adjustable rate mortgage? Do you know whether or not you would want to refinance 2, 3 or 5 years in the future? Do you know how long you'll be staying in the home?

The answer to each of those questions will vary from one person to the next. The best thing to do is to learn what you can about mortgage loans, and to get the answers that you need to make the right decision for you.
