Almost all lenders and brokers offer conventional loan programs. These can range from fixed loans (30-year, 15-year, 10-year, etc.) to Adjustable Rate Mortgages (5/1 ARM, 3/1 ARM, etc.).

When you select a conventional loan program, the loans are “bought” by an investor on the secondary market such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac but the loan will continue to be serviced by the original lender. Because investors buy these loans from lending institutions, they determine the qualifying factors, such as credit rating, debt-to-income ratios, and interest rates.

Fixed Rate Loans

Fixed rate loans have a fixed interest rate for the entire term of the loan. The benefit of a fixed-rate mortgage is that the homeowner will not have to contend with varying loan payment amounts that fluctuate with interest rate movements.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

An adjustable rate mortgage, or ARM, is a loan program that offers a fixed interest rate for a determined time period, then varies with market conditions. Introductory rates are often much lower than 30-year fixed rates.
