Fixed Rate Mortgage
  • Plan to live in home more than 5 years
  • Like the stability of a fixed principal/interest payment
  • Don't want to run the risk of future monthly payment increases
  • Think your income and spending will stay the same
Adjustable Rate Mortgage
  • Plan to stay in your home less than 5 years
  • Don't mind having your monthly payment periodically change (up or down)
  • Comfortable with the risk of possible payment increases in future
  • Think your income will probably increase in the future
Combination Rate Mortgage
  • Want the stability of a fixed principal/interest payment in the short term
  • Want to repair your credit by demonstrating your ability to make regular payments, then refinance for a lower interest rate
  • Have a lot of consumer debt (these loans typically allow more)
  • Want to borrow more and get a lower monthly payment than a standard fixed rate loan
