Your top mortgage questions, answered

Common types include conventional loans, FHA loans, VA loans, USDA loans, fixed-rate mortgages, and adjustable-rate mortgages. Each type has its own eligibility requirements, benefits, and drawbacks.

A fixed-rate mortgage has a constant interest rate throughout the loan term, leading to predictable monthly payments. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) has an interest rate that can change periodically, causing fluctuations in monthly payments.

Pre-qualification provides an estimate of how much you might be able to borrow based on the information you provide. Pre-approval involves a more thorough review of your financial situation and credit history, resulting in a conditional commitment from a lender.

While it may be more challenging to qualify for a mortgage loan with bad credit, there are still options available. Government-backed loans like FHA loans may have more flexible credit requirements, and some lenders specialize in working with borrowers with less-than-perfect credit.
