Types Of Mortgages Available

There are three standard mortgage loan categories to which all mortgages fall under. Rates are generally very similar for each of these options.

 

Conventional Mortgage

A Conventional Mortgage often requires a minimum of 5% down and can be a good choice for those with good credit ratings.

Government Federal Housing Administration (FHA)

An FHA Mortgage can be a better option if you have less-than-perfect credit and may need more assistance with closing costs. A lower percentage is required for a down payment, and the seller has a higher percentage option for concessions.
