Mortgages - Links
A mortgage is a loan secured by a lien on your home. The amount of your mortgage is typically the purchase price of the home minus your down payment. There are two basic types of mortgages: Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) and Fixed-Rate mortgages. There are also less common types of mortgages such as balloon mortgages and construction mortgages.
When searching for a mortgage, it's important to understand the details of the payment terms. You will want to consider the interest rate, the length of the loan, the initial fees and points on the loan, and how property insurance and real-estate taxes are paid.
Mortgages are competitive, so shop around online to find the best rate.
