30 Year Fixed Rate Program 30 year fixed mortgage is a type of mortgage loan that is repaid by the borrower making 360 equal monthly payments over a period of 30 years. Since mortgagerate the borrower's payments are 'fixed', the borrower can expect to make the same monthly payment for the entire term of the loan.

1, 3,5, 7, 10 Year Adjustable Rate Loan Programs An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) is a mortgage loan that is most widely known for its low starting interest rate (when compared to the 30 & 15 year mortgagerate mortgage loans). This 'low' introductory rate is used to calculate the mortgage payment for a specified period of time. Once this introductory period is over, the interest rate is adjusted periodically based on a pre selected index. The most commonly used index is the yield on the one-year Treasury Bill. The mortgagerate new interest rate is determined by adding this index to a set margin (which is determined by the lender). Although there are a mortgagerate variety of adjustable rate mortgage programs available, the most common program is the One Year Adjustable Mortgage (one Year ARM). The interest rate on the one year ARM is adjusted once each Year, for 30 years.

Since the borrower's payments are 'fixed', the borrower can expect to make the same monthly payment for the entire term of the loan. A 15 year mortgage loan is the most widely accepted program used to finance a residential purchase, and is available for conventional, jumbo, FHA and VA loans. Jumbo Loan Programs A jumbo mortgage is a mortgage loan which is larger than the limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($322,700 as of 1/1/2003). Since these two agencies will not purchase these types of loans, they usually carry a higher mortgagerate interest rate (to enhance their value and marketability to investors). FHA Loan Programs An FHA mortgage loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (a division of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)). Although mortgagerate mortgage lenders provide the mortgage funds, the FHA sets underwriting standards for approving applicants. In many cases, FHA underwriting mortgagerate guidelines are more lenient than conventional (not government insured or guaranteed) underwriting guidelines. This leniency makes it easier for borrowers to qualify for a mortgage loan (low down payment requirements and a higher monthly debt allowance). FHA limits the types |
