There are three major types of home mortgages – fixed rate mortgages, adjustable rate mortgages and balloon mortgages. Each of these types have their own sub types, depending on the length of their terms and overall flexibility. To learn more about the three major types of home mortgages, along with their benefits and disadvantages, keep reading.
Fixed Rate Mortgage
The fixed rate mortgage is the standard, traditional mortgage. This is the mortgage your parents probably had. It’s easy to understand, simple to budget and very stable, predictable and steady.
A fixed rate mortgage offers the same interest rate over the entirety of the mortgage’s term. That way, you can expect the same monthly payment for the duration of the loan and look at a full and complete amortization table of your mortgage to see exactly where each payment will go over the next 15 or 30 years.
That is, even though the monthly principle and interest will add up to the same amount every month, the portion of that payment made up of interest on the loan will far exceed the principle amount during the earlier years of the loan and then gradually shift until the principle is much higher than the interest during the last several years.
The benefits of a fixed rate mortgage go beyond stability and can also translate to major savings. If interest rates are low, locking in your rate with a fixed rate mortgage before rates go back up could translate to big savings – perhaps tens of thousands of dollars – in the long term.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage
The adjustable rate mortgage tends to be for those who prefer a little more risk but lower monthly payments in the first couple of years or so. Despite the fact that homeowners with an adjustable rate mortgage tend to pay less overall in interest charges than homeowners with a fixed rate mortgage, there’s still an element of risk to be carefully weighed.
With an adjustable rate mortgage, your interest will change depending on the current standard interest rates. If rates fall, so does your rate and your monthly payment. If rates go up, the opposite is true. Essentially, the risk of fluctuating interest rates is passed to the borrower rather than the lender.
Because of that increased risk that you assume, lenders will offer very low introductory rates and a slightly lower ongoing rate.
Balloon Mortgage
The balloon mortgage is designed for homeowners who are expecting to live in their house for a short period of time or anticipate an influx of cash or equity within a few years.
The balloon mortgage works by setting up a loan that’s shorter in duration than the amortization period and then collecting the balance at the end of the time.
For example, you have a $200,000 mortgage and the loan is for 10 years, but it’s amortized over 20 years. That means, you’ll make monthly payments based on the face that it’s taking 20 years to pay it off. But, then after 10 years, you’ll have to pay for the remainder of the principal still owed. Hence, the analogy of a “balloon.”

Help answer the question about home mortgage
Which type of lending institution is better for a home mortgage; a mortgage company or traditional bank?I'm not a first time home buyer. What are the pros and cons of using bank financing versus mortgage company financing to find the most competitive interest rates? This is for a home purchase, not refinance and my credit is excellant.
nice try, but no.
I agree with other answers. You can't invest in your own residence with your 401k without withdrawing the money with penalty. While IRA rules recently relaxed to allow real estate investment, one strict guideline is that you and any immediate family members cannot reside in the house that was invested in. A loan from your 401k is an option that you should explore, but each 401k plan has its own rules on loans.

Ampedee, I’m a mortgage broker and banker. I used to work for one of the largest banks in the country and to be honest our fees and costs were so much higher than brokers. Large banks spend money on advertising and pay salaries.
So long as the plan allows for hardship withdrawals then yes a non-standard contract is just fine. You'll need the purchase and sale agreement along with the financing documentation to prove that it's a purchase but you need that anyways right?
Hey Bank of America! You didn’t do squat for me and my husband. You promised the world but delivered nothing. So why don’t you get off this website and go do somethingproductive??? Like….get an education!

The best thing you can do is arm yourself with knowledge, even better if it’s free. a little time and a few clicks now could save you years and thousands of dollars later.
the choices you make today define your tommorow.
very professional response b of a.
For starters…it's way too long!!!!!
Definitely change your objective….especially the part where it says "to grow with a company." It sounds kind of like something a teenager would say in their resume (please don't take offense, you asked for help).
Say something like……. "Seeking a position where I can apply my experience and knowledge toward the growth and success of the company."
Or
"Looking to use my experience and knowledge to help in the growth and success of the company."
Of course, those are generic, but something along those lines sounds much more professional than what you have listed above.
Also, I think a big downfall on your resume will be the number of jobs you have listed and the fact that you only stay with companies for a year or less (I think there was one company on there with two years)
This does not look good at all. A hiring manager will look at that right away and know something is not right. They will also avoid hiring you for fear that you may only stay with their company for less than a year. And, in reality, it's a huge waste of time and money for companies to train you, pay you, and possibly have you leave soon after.
If I were you, I would only list your three most recent jobs. If you get an interview, you can always mention your oldest jobs then….but only if they ask!
And, remember, a resume should be kept to one page!!! One page and half of another one is still ok, but remember….the shorter the better.
Work on some things and post this resume again. We'll let you know how it looks. But from someone who hires people on a daily basis, I would really redo this resume before turning it in…..Honestly, I would not even give you an interview if you turned this in to my company.
Hope this helps!
