30- Year Fixed
Rate Mortgage
Loan payment and interest rate remain stable for 30 years. This is a good loan if you are planning to keep the home for a long time and want stable payments.
Because a longer loan term lowers the monthly payment, a 30-year fixed mortgage may be easier to qualify for.
15- Year Fixed
Rate Mortgage
Loan payment and interest rate remain stable for 15 years. This is a good loan if you want stable payments, but can afford to make a higher monthly payment.
A 15-year fixed rate loan will build equity faster than a 30-year fixed rate loan.
