Choose a home type of mortgage by the kind of rate you want

This article will let you know how to choose a type of home mortgage loan based on the kind of mortgage rate you want.

Mortgage loan rates are the percentage of interest you'll pay on the amount of money you borrowed for your home loan. And that rate can be fixed (so it stays at the same percentage). Or it can adjust up and down with our economy's prime rate. Or it can do a bit of both. Yes, a bit of both.

There are different home types of mortgages with different kinds of rates.
Choose a type of loan to learn about:

• Adjustable rate mortgage loan
• Fixed rate mortgage loan
• Convertible rate mortgage loan
• Capped rate mortgage loan

Adjustable rate mortgage loan

The adjustable rate mortgage loan is a type of home loan that has a rate that goes up and down with the economy's prime rate.

This "adjustable rate" type of home mortgage loan, has a rate that is always 3/4% below the prime rate of the economy. And a mortgage-rate that's 3/4% below the economy's prime rate is really the lowest mortgage rate out there right now.

Fixed rate mortgage loan

You can also get a fixed rate mortgage loan for your home real estate. The fixed rate mortgage loan is a type of mortgage that has a rate that "stays the same" (or "fixed") for your entire mortgage term.

No matter how the economy changes - your mortgage rate will stay the same. No matter how the price of real estate changes - your rate will stay the same. No matter how mortgage-rates in the industry sky-rocket: yup, your rate will stay the same, fixed, unmovable, steadfast - got it?

Convertible rate mortgage loan

"Convertible" rate mortgage loans can also be had. This type of home mortgage loan initially has an adjustable rate when you get it. So when you first get a convertible rate mortgage loan, it will have a rate that's 3/4% below that prime rate of the economy, and will adjust up and down as the prime rate of the economy adjusts up and down.

But with a convertible rate mortgage, at any time during your mortgage term, you can choose to change your "adjustable rate" to a "fixed rate."

This is a really ideal type of home mortgage loan. Why? Cause whenever you think the mortgage market's rate is reasonable during your home mortgage term, you can lock into a "fixed rate" for a longer term. It's the best of both the adjustable and fixed rate-worlds. It's "the convertible rate mortgage loan."
