Conventional fixed-rate mortgage
|
- The most common home financing option.
- Monthly principal and interest payments remain the same for the life of the loan, making it an attractive choice if you plan to stay in your home for many years.
- Most conventional loans require at least 5%¹ down. Remember, when putting less than 20% down, private mortgage insurance (PMI) is usually required.

Conventional adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM)
|
- Features a fixed rate and payment for the first three to 10 years based on the terms of the loan.
- Then rates fluctuate either up or down based on market conditions.
- An ARM may be a good option if you know you will be living in your home for only a few years. A down payment of at least 10%¹ is typically required.
