There isn't a single or simple answer to this
question. The right type of mortgage for you depends
on many different factors:
- Your current financial picture
- How you expect your finances to change
- How long you intend to keep your house
- How comfortable you are with your mortgage
payment changing
For example, a 15-year fixed rate mortgage can
save you many thousands of dollars in interest
payments over the life of the loan, but your monthly
payments will be higher. An adjustable rate mortgage
may get you started with a lower monthly payment
than a fixed rate mortgage, but your payments could
get higher when the interest rate changes which
may force you to refinance when it comes to term.
The best way to go about choosing the right loan
is to discuss your finances, your plans and your
preferences with one of our highly trained loan officers.
