VA Home Loans
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loan program began after World War II to help veterans buy homes.

The assistance provided by VA is a guarantee of a portion of a mortgage loan used to finance the purchase of a primary home. Each eligible veteran is granted a dollar amount of entitlement, which can be used in place of a down payment, and can result in a loan for 100% of the purchase price.
Features include:
* no down payment requirement
* no monthly mortgage insurance
* fixed rate and ARM loans available
* more flexible qualification guidelines

Conventional Fixed Rate Mortgage
If you are planning on staying in your home for more than 5 years and want the security of a monthly mortgage payment that will never change, a fixed rated mortgage is a smart choice. Of course, your property taxes and homeowners insurance may increase over time, but your principal and interest payments will stay the same.
Fixed rate mortgages are available for 30 years, 20 years and 15 years butthe most common fixed rate loans are 15 and 30 year mortgages.
30 year fixed
* easiest fixed rate loan to qualify for
* lowest monthly payment of the fixed rate loan choices
* keeps home loan payments affordable by extending them over a long period of time
* provides maximum tax-deductible interest (consult your tax advisor)
15 year fixed
* has a lower interest rate than a 20 or 30 year loan (but higher monthly payments)
* helps you pay off your home even faster and build equity quicker than a 20 or 30 year
* saves considerable money on total interest paid over the life of the loan
