Adjustable Rate Mortgages

These loans generally begin with an interest rate that is 1-2 percent below a comparable fixed rate mortgage, and could allow you to buy a more expensive home.
However, the interest rate changes at specified intervals (for example, every year) depending on changing market conditions; if interest rates go up, your monthly mortgage payment will go up, too. However, if rates go down, your mortgage payment will drop also.

Balloon Mortgages

Balloon loans are short-term mortgages that have some features of a fixed rate mortgage. The loans provide a level payment feature during the term of the loan, but as opposed to the 30 year fixed rate mortgage, balloon loans do not fully amortize over the original term. Balloon loans can have many types of maturities, but most balloons that are first mortgages have a term of 5 to 7 years.

Buydown Options

The most common buydown is the 2-1 buydown. In the past, for a buyer to secure a 2-1 buydown they would pay 3 points above current market points in order to pay a below market interest rate during the first two years of the loan. At the end of the two years they would then pay the old market rate for the remaining term.

Fixed Rate Mortgages

Fixed Rate Mortgages are the most common type of mortgage program where your monthly payments for interest and principal never change. Property taxes and homeowners insurance may increase, but generally your monthly payments will be very stable.
Fixed-rate mortgages are available for 30 years, 20 years, 15 years and even 10 years. There are also "bi-weekly" mortgages, which shorten the loan by calling for half the monthly payment every two weeks. (Since there are 52 weeks in a year, you make 26 payments, or 13 "months" worth, every year.)

Refinancing: How & Why?

Things to Consider:

As Rates Reduce: When rates fall steadily, refinancing may make sense even if you have done so once already.
Build Home Equity Quickly: Many borrowers use a refinance to shorten the term of the mortgage. And brace yourself: Even at low rates, a shorter term means a higher monthly payment. The benefit is that you'll build up equity faster and pay far less in total interest over the life of the loan.

Cash Out: Many borrowers refinance to shorten the term of the mortgage. And brace yourself: even at low rates, a shorter term means a higher monthly payment. Benefits include building up equity faster and paying far less in total interest over the life of the loan.

Analyze Your Savings: Check the market closely to determine the available rates and the costs associated with refinancing. These costs can include items such as an appraisal and other various fees and points. Then determine what your new payment would be if you refinanced.

The Cost of Refinancing: When you refinance your home, you usually pay off your original mortgage and sign a new loan. With a new loan, you pay most of the same costs you paid to get your original mortgage. These can include settlement costs, discount points and other fees. You also may be charged a penalty for paying off your original loan early, although some states prohibit this.

Standard ARM Programs

ARMs with different indexes are available for both purchases and refinances. Choosing an ARM with an index that reacts quickly lets you take full advantage of falling interest rates. An index that lags behind the market lets you take advantage of lower rates after market rates have started to adjust upward.

The interest rate and monthly payment can change based on adjustments to the index rate.
