You're right - there are many types
of mortgages. Our staff at Best
Nationwide Loans can help you determine which type of Mortgage is right for
you.
Most people use a fixed-rate
mortgage. In a fixed rate mortgage, your Interest rate stays the same for the
term of the mortgage, which normally is 30 years. The advantage of a fixed-rate
mortgage is that you always know exactly how much your mortgage payment will
be, and you can plan for it. Another kind of mortgage is an Adjustable Rate
Mortgage (ARM). With this kind of mortgage, your Interest Rate and monthly
payments usually start lower than a fixed rate mortgage. But your rate and
payment can change either up or down, as often as once or twice a year. The
Adjustment is tied to a financial Index, such as the U.S. Treasury Securities
index. The advantage of an ARM is that you may be able to afford a more
expensive home because your initial interest rate will be lower.
