Traditional

Do you need a fixed rate mortgage which offers the predictability of a fixed monthly payment with a choice between a 15 to 30 year loan term?
Conventional loans are actually any type of creditor agreement that are not financed by the Veterans Administration (VA), or supported by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). In general, all conventional loans are protected by the government sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC).

There are different types of conventional loans that have their own peculiarities. Conforming and nonconforming types of conventional loans are the most common kind of subdivision. Conforming loans have to meet the guidelines set by Fannie May and Freddie Mac. One key feature is that the loan amount can not exceed the maximum loan limit set by Fannie and Freddie.

Advantages:
  • The fact that the creditors can actually keep the loan in their own portfolios and in this way they provide themselves with more flexibility concerning the loans as it must not take any other direction when it comes to some other borrowers.
  • The creditors are free to add or on the contrary eliminate some of the fees on the loans.
  • In the case when a person who is willing to get a loan does not have all the possibilities to do that, the creditor has the opportunity to self-insure the loan at the same time increasing the interest rate so that to recompense for the risk he or she takes.
A jumbo is a loan in which the amount borrowed is greater than loan limit set by Fannie May (FNMA) & Freddie Mac (FHLMC)

Advantages:
  • Able to finance a home that is over the maximum loan amount established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
  • Enables a borrower to purchase “more house”.

Government

Do you need a government secured loan? Are you in the armed forces, a veteran, reservist or the surviving spouse looking for a home mortgage?
The Federal Housing Administration was created in 1934 as an effort to bolster homes sales during the Depression. By financially guaranteeing loans the FHA lifts much of the risk of non-payment and foreclosure from private lenders. It is important to remember that the FHA is not a lender; they just guarantee your loan.

Advantages:
  • Bankruptcy not an automatic disqualification.
  • Less stringent credit requirements.
  • Lower interest rates.
  • Down payment is less.

Features:
  • Down payment required.
  • Higher MIP than on conventional loans.
  • Loan Limits are lower than conventional.
  • MIP required regardless of the Loan-to-Value (LTV).
A VA loan is a mortgage loan guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. It was created in 1944 and signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. A VA loan provides veterans and/or their surviving spouses with a federally guaranteed home with zero down payment. The program, also referred to as the GI Bill, has been highly successful and has helped millions of American veterans and their families acquire a home.

Advantages:
  • No down payment.
  • VA does not require private MIP.
  • Limit on the amount of origination fees and closing costs that the lender can charge.

The process of acquiring a property for the purpose of primary residence, second home or investment property.

Advantages:
  • All interest on the mortgage is tax deductible.
  • Establishes credit history.
  • Secured investment.
  • Builds equity.
  • Can be used to borrow against.
The process of paying off one loan with the proceeds from a new loan, using the same property as security. Cash received by the borrower at closing may not exceed $2,000 (not allowed in Texas). Status varies depending upon State Law. The purpose is, as the name implies, to reduce the interest rate, payment, and/or overall term of the mortgage.

Advantages:
  • Reduction of the interest rate, payment, and/or overall term of the mortgage.
  • Limit of $2,000 cash (varies depending upon State Law).
Cash-out refinances are deemed to have a higher risk factor than either rate & term refinances or purchases due to the increase in loan amount relative to the value of the property.

Advantages:
  • A lump sum of money at closing for large purchases.
  • Easy to qualify as equity has been built.
  • Tax benefit is if loan is used to pay off other debt on which interest is not tax deductible.
  • Interest rates are usually lower on cash out refinance loans than they are on home equity loans.

Amortization

Amortization is a fancy word that basically describes the number of years it will take to repay the loan completely, with interest.
10,15, 20, 25 and 30 year fixed
A fixed rate mortgage is a mortgage loan where the interest rate on the note remains the same through the term of the loan, as opposed to loans where the interest rate may adjust.

The payment amount is independent of the additional costs on a home sometimes handled in escrow, such as property taxes and property insurance.

Advantages:
  • Monthly payments are fixed over the life of the loan.
  • Interest rate does not change.
  • Protected if rates go up.
  • Can refinance if rates go down.
3/1 ARM, 5/1 ARM, 7/1 ARM, 10/1 ARM, 1 year ARM, 6 month ARM, 1 month ARM
An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is a mortgage loan where the interest rate on the note is periodically adjusted based on a variety of indexes. Among the most common indexes are the rates on 1-year constant-maturity Treasury (CMT) securities, and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).

Consequently, payments made by the borrower may change over time with the changing interest rate (alternatively, the term of the loan may change). The borrower benefits if the interest rate falls and loses out if interest rates rise.

Advantages:
  • Lower initial monthly payment.
  • Lower payment over a shorter period of time.
  • Rates and payments may go down if rates improve.
  • May qualify for higher loan amounts.

Property Types

A person's primary residence is the dwelling where they live, typically a house or an apartment. A person can only have one primary residence at any given time, though they may share the residence with other people.
A primary residence is considered as a legal residence for the purpose of income tax and/or acquiring a mortgage.

Advantages:
  • All interest on the mortgage is tax deductible.
  • Establishes credit history.
  • Secured investment.
  • Builds equity.
  • Can be used to borrow against.
  • Gifts are allowed.
A "second home" refers to private ownership of a residence other than one’s primary residence. Depending on their purpose, second homes are sometimes called vacation homes, or secondary residence. The property must be available for your exclusive use and enjoyment and must not be subject to any rental pools or long-term leases.

Advantages:
  • Buy the home now while employed and retire in it later.
  • Build wealth with additional equity.
  • Similar terms to primary residence loan.
A real estate property that is not occupied by the owner and has been purchased with the intention of earning a return on the investment, either through rent, the future resale of the property, or both.

Advantages:
  • Capital growth.
  • Rental income and yield.
  • Tax shelter.
