Types of Loans

Types of Loans

There are many different loan types that you can choose from when purchasing a home. These types of loans can help you get a mortgage that meets your needs.

• FHA loans - one of the most popular loan types due to the low down payment requirements
• Conventional mortgages - the most common type of mortgage today
• Rate and term - how long you can extend the loan for at an interest rate
• Down payment - how much of the loan you must put down or not
• Adjustable rate - can change based on market conditions
• Cash-out - instead of paying all your loan payments, you can combine the loan with another loan and pay the extra loan off.
• Reverse mortgage - a loan that helps you sell your home

What is an Equity Loan?

An equity loan is a loan that does not require a down payment. The amount you borrow is based on the market value of your home.

For example, if you have a house that is worth 200,000 and take out a 200,000 equity loan, you must contribute no money. You will have to pay the lender only the difference between your 200,000 house and the amount of the loan, which is 100,000.

What is a Conventional Loan?

When you get a conventional mortgage, you are borrowing money from a bank or other financial institution and your money goes straight to the seller of the house and it is cash out. That is why conventional mortgages come with higher interest rates.

The interest rate on a conventional loan is the amount you and the seller of the home agree to as part of the sale.

There are two things to keep in mind when you get a conventional mortgage. The first is that you must pay off the loan on time. If you don’t pay off the loan on time, the bank or lender can take your property.

The second thing to keep in mind is that you may have to pay mortgage insurance if you don’t make your mortgage payments on time.
