Mortgage 101
If you've never bought a home before, the number of mortgage loan options can be overwhelming. What's the difference between a conventional loan and a government loan, and should you go with an adjustable-rate or fixed-rate mortgage? Even if you have bought a home before, if it's been several years, then you might not remember everything you'll want to know before making a decision about which loan type is going to be best for your situation.
There's good news, though. It won't take long to get a handle on the different types of loans available to you and figure out which one best fits your circumstances. All thanks to my preferred partner lenders, who are always happy to explain the differences between different kinds of mortgage loans and eventually support you when choosing the one most suitable for your finances.
