Mortgage basics, FAQs, and everything you need to make informed decisions about your home loan.

Mortgage Basics

Understand the different types of mortgages available to you.

Fixed-Rate Mortgage

The most common type of loan — your interest rate and monthly payment never change for the life of the loan. Available in 15, 20, and 30-year terms.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)

Features a low initial rate that adjusts periodically based on market conditions. Often starts lower than fixed rates but carries future adjustment risk.

FHA Loan

Government-insured loan with a low 3.5% down payment and flexible credit requirements. Ideal for first-time homebuyers.

VA Loan

A benefit for military veterans and active-duty service members offering zero down payment, no PMI, and competitive rates.

Conventional Loan

A mortgage not insured by the government. Requires higher credit scores and down payments but offers flexibility in terms and rates.

Jumbo Loan

For financing properties above the conforming loan limit ($766,550 in most areas in 2024). Requires strong credit and higher down payments.
