Home Loan Insights

Popular Mortgage Loan Types

Buying a home involves many decisions - and choosing the right mortgage is a big one. Here’s a quick look at the most common loan types, which primarily involve a fixed interest rate over a long period of time, or a rate that can change over time.

What is a Quality Mortgage?

One of the first questions every homebuyer needs to ask is: How much can I afford for a monthly payment? That's also a question your lender needs to ask.

Think twice before choosing to rent to own

While rent-to-own stores can be great to fill a short-term need – such as a big-screen TV for the big game – actually renting until you own the product can be costly.

Your credit score matters

Your credit score is a number derived from your overall credit report and is based primarily on how well you pay your bills and how much you owe. The higher your score, the more likely you are to get a loan... as well as a better interest rate on that loan.
