Should I choose a fixed or adjustable rate mortgage?
What are your future plans? Are you planning on living in the house for years to come or are you planning on selling in the near future? The answer to this question will help you determine which type of loan is best for you. Fixed rate loans have a stated interest rate that does not change over the life of the loan. Therefore, if you are planning to live in the home for years to come, a fixed rate mortgage will be the most beneficial to you.
Adjustable rate loans however, are linked to an index and change as the index rate changes. Because you are assuming some of the risk, the interest rate will generally be lower. This loan is best for the borrowers who do not plan on keeping the loan for the full term.
Should I pay points?
Points are defined as an up-front mortgage interest fee paid on a loan to reduce the initial interest rate. Generally, you should only pay points if you plan on keeping the loan for a few years. You need to be sure you will keep the loan long enough to regain these costs through lower monthly mortgage payments. Paying points is a trade-off between paying money now versus paying money later.
Can I still get a loan if I do not have a down payment
Yes, it’s possible! First Flight offers VA & FHA loan programs that allow you to finance up to 100% of the purchase price or appraised value.
