How many types of home purchase loans are there?
In the mortgage industry, there are three primary types of home purchase loans: Conventional, Government and Jumbo. There are many more specific home purchase programs, but they will all fall into one of these categories.
In many cases you’ll also have your choice of home purchase loans that offer a fixed interest rate or an adjustable interest rate. Fixed rates are ideal for people who plan to live in the home for more than 10 years or so and want total payment stability. Adjustable rates are better suited for borrowers who move a lot for work or have a growing family and only plan to live in their home for a few years. They want initial payment stability with a lower rate and can accept later changes, or they plan to sell before a rate adjustment occurs.
When should I think about starting the homebuying process?
When considering a home purchase, the earlier you can sit down with a mortgage professional, the more success you can expect when it’s time to make an actual offer. A good benchmark is 6-12 months before you plan to make a home purchase. By getting a grasp on your financials early, you’ll have the necessary time to build down payment savings, improve your credit score, reduce your debt-to-income ratio, and/or develop consistency in your income history so you can receive the best home purchase loan possible.
