Types Of Mortgage Loans - The Basics - part 2

by Dan Lewis

3. Bad Credit Loans - In the mortgage industry, mortgage brokers often refer to a borrower's "paper." This paper refers to people with less than stellar credit. "B" paper refers to relatively small problems, while "D" paper refers to bigger issues such as bankruptcy filings. The worse your paper, the more you can expect to pay in interest, points and down payment amounts. You need to carefully determine whether paying these extra penalties makes financial sense.

Interest Rates

With each of the above loans, you'll have an option of going with a fixed interest rate or an adjustable rate. Fixed interest rates simply set a definitive interest rate that will be charged over the length of the loan. Adjustable rates typically start at a figure lower than fixed rates, but can be moved up to reflect changes in the cost of borrowing money. In many ways, you are betting whether interest rates will increase in the future.

For a great majority of people, basic mortgage loan options still suffice when it comes to borrowing money. Don't fret if you have problems qualifying for these loans. There are many other options on the market these days.
