Different Mortgage Types Explained by Bank of Internet USA

For prospective homebuyers on the market, finding a trustworthy lender is a crucial step to buying a home. Bank of Internet USA offers some of the lowest rates in the home loan industry. Bank of Internet USA is able to secure several types of mortgages: 15 year Fixed Rate Mortgage (FRM), 30 year FRM, Jumbo 30 year FRM and 5 year Adjustable Rate Mortgage.

Fixed Rate Mortgages are one of the most popular home loan types today. They enable homebuyers to lock in a particular rate for the duration of the loan period. The advantage to the 15 year FRM is that the customer ultimately sees substantial interest savings. The 30 year FRM is for homebuyers who wish to have lower monthly payments but pay them off over a longer period of time. The 30 year FRM has the lowest monthly payments provided by Bank of Internet USA.

A 5 year Adjustable Rate Mortgage will lock in a fixed payment amount for the first 5 years. After that initial period of 60 months, the payment amounts may change based on current market conditions.

Jumbo mortgages are for circumstances where the total amount lended exceeds $417,000 in “general” areas and $625,500 in “high cost” areas. By nature, jumbo mortgages have higher interest rates than other mortgage types because they are considered risky for lenders. Bank of Internet USA’s Jumbo 30 year Fixed Rate Mortgages still provides low mortgage interest rates.
