5 Types Of Mortgage Loans For Homebuyers

Buying a home is exciting, but the financial side of things can often feel you leaving a little overwhelmed. ⁣
⁣
Side note: Am I the only one who wishes they taught us this stuff in school!?⠀⁣
⁣
The good news is once you learn the lingo, nail down a budget, and have your down payment secured, you'll be more than ready and able to choose which loan option works best for you. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Here are 5 types of mortgage loans for homebuyers:⠀⁣
⁣
1. Conventional mortgage: Loans backed by private lenders rather than the government. You can even put down as little as 3%! This is a great option if you have a solid credit score. ⠀⠀⁣
2. Adjustable-rate mortgage: Loans with low initial interest rates that mean big savings early on. ⠀⠀⁣
3. Fixed-rate mortgages: Loans with predictable payments month after month, year after year.⠀⁣
4. Government-insured mortgages: FHA loans, USDA loans, and VA loans, oh my! These government-insured options make homeownership more accessible if you have less liquid cash or less-than-stellar credit.⠀⁣
5. Jumbo mortgages: Common in high-cost areas, these loans allow homeowners to borrow more money in expensive zip codes.⠀⁣
