Mortgages

There are also several types of mortgages. In a fixed mortgage, your monthly principal and interest payments remain the same for the life of the loan, usually 15 or 30 years. A 30-year mortgage will have lower monthly payments, but the 15-year allows you to repay the loan twice as fast, saving more than half the total interest costs. Adjustable rate mortgage propose monthly principal and interest payments to be the same for only a certain number of years (usually 5 or 15).

If you do not refinance prior to the end of the fixed rate, the rate can go up or down based on the market at the time. A VA mortgage is available only to veterans and members of the U.S. military. The loan is guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and requires a low or no down payment. In order to qualify for a VA mortgage, you must get a Certificate of Eligibility from the government.
