The Conventional Home Loans

The Conventional Home Loans

A conventional mortgage loan is a “conforming” loan, which simply means that it meets the requirements for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government-sponsored enterprises that purchase mortgages 

from lenders and sell them to investors. This frees up lenders’ funds so they can get more qualified buyers into homes.

 

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) – A loan with an interest rate that is tied to a specified financial index, this increases or decreases at scheduled time periods during the life of the loan. The loan includes a margin that is tied to the index.

 

Fixed-Rate Loan – A loan with an interest rate and payment that remains constant throughout the life of the loan. Interest is amortized over the loan period and factored into the monthly mortgage payment.

 

Interest Only – Monthly mortgage payments consist of interest only for a specific period, usually 5 to 10 years. During the interest only period, your balance remains the same unless you choose to pay extra toward your principal.

 

If any of these loans sounds like the loan for you, let’s get started!
