Mortgage Loan Programs and Eligibility Requirements
A comparison of available loan programs - conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, HELOC and specialty financing - with the credit, down payment and property rules that decide which one fits.
Common terms are 30, 20, and 15 years: longer terms lower the monthly payment, shorter terms reduce total interest paid.
Benefits of a fixed-rate mortgage

What to consider
Initial rates are usually higher than an ARM's introductory rate
Lowering your rate later requires refinancing
