Mortgage loans are detailed products and it is fair to say that one size does not fit all when it homes to home loans. The interest rate that you may qualify for on a mortgage may be different than what others qualify for based on their situation. This short video from MSNBC explains how mortgages work and ultimately how lenders choose your mortgage rate.

Because each homebuyer has a different financial situation, it is important to work with a local mortgage company that offers multiple home loan options.

Below is a short list of mortgage options and their benefits:

Conventional Mortgage: A great mortgage option for high credit score buyers that have 5% or more to use for a down payment. This is one of the only mortgage options that you can get rid of PMI (private mortgage insurance).

FHA Mortgage: FHA loans are great for homebuyers with bumps in their credit past of even first time home buyers. Qualification requirements are easier than conventional mortgages because these loans are insured by the federal government.

VA Loans: A great mortgage for military veterans is a VA Loan which is a zero down mortgage. While there is an up front guarantee fee charged by the Veterans association, there is no monthly PMI which helps to keep payments low and affordable.

USDA Rural Development Loans: The RD loan is great zero down home loan that is great for first time home buyers. This type of mortgage allows a homebuyer to buy a home with no down payment and the sellers can pay your closing costs. Qualifications are easier than conventional mortgages however there are restrictions on income and the location of the home.
