Loan types in the US market

A quick map of what’s out there.

Most US buyers default to the 30-yr fixed without realizing there are 7 other doors. Pick the structure that fits the property, not the other way around.

30-yr Fixed

The US default. Predictable monthly carry over 360 payments. Best for buy-and-hold.

15-yr Fixed

Higher monthly payment, dramatically less interest. Common for refi and 2nd-home buyers.

7/1 ARM

Fixed for the first 7 years, then floats annually. Cheaper start; pricier later.

FHA 30-yr

Lower down-payment minimum (3.5%). Annual MIP runs for the life of most loans.

VA 30-yr

Zero down, no PMI, for eligible veterans + active-duty. One-time funding fee.

USDA Rural

Zero down for qualifying rural properties + income brackets. Often overlooked.

Jumbo 30-yr

Above the conforming limit ($766,550 in most US counties, more in CA / HI / DC).

Non-QM / Bank Statement

Self-employed and entrepreneurial buyers. Underwrites cashflow vs W-2 income.

Re-lo angle

The cheapest mortgage is the one you don’t take.

Subject-to and assumable deals let you take over the seller’s existing mortgage at the rate they locked years ago — often 2 to 4 points below today. Run a traditional mortgage in our calculator, then watch the subject-to sidebar show you the gap.
