30 Year Fixed Rate Conventional Home Loans

The conventional 30 year fixed rate home loan is a mortgage in which the monthly payments remain the same over the life of the
loan.  Once the mortgage is in effect, the interest rate does not fluctuate but remains constant.

The 30 year fixed rate loan is one of the most commonly used mortgages for residential financing in America.  The greatest advantage for a home buyer is the predictability of the payments each month because it never changes.  This type of loan is often recommended for home buyers living on a fixed income, a set budget, or those planning on living in their home for more than five years.  If interest rates increase, the loan rate will remain the same.  Unfortunately should rates decline below the set interest rate on the loan, the only way to change it is to refinance the mortgage and incur a loss of equity or additional closing costs to take advantage of the lower interest rate.
