If you are looking to buy a new home or property, mortgages are in the forefront of your mind. Mortgages are long-term loans, usually from a bank or a mortgage broker.

Mortgages are repaid over long periods of time, because these loans are for very large sums of money. There are many kinds of mortgages available to buyers, each with its own risks and benefits.

Fixed-rate mortgages are most common. These mortgages keep the same interest rate over the course of the loan, and monthly payments stay the same. The normal period to pay off these mortgages is 15 or 30 years. These mortgages are particularly affordable when buyers can lock in to low interest rates.

Adjustable-rate mortgages usually start with lower interest rates than fixed-rate loans. This appeals to buyers during the initial loan period. However, these rates may rise over time, and buyers may end up paying more on these mortgages than originally anticipated. Typical adjustable-rate mortgages include 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1, and they have fixed rates for the first three, five, seven, or 10 years, respectively. After that, the mortgages’ interest rates adjust annually.

Adjustable-rate mortgages do come with caps. This prevents the adjusted interest rates from going too high. Research the caps before deciding on these types of mortgages.

Another popular form of adjustable-rate mortgages is the interest-only loan. For a certain period of time, borrowers pay only the interest on these mortgages. After that time, the interest is adjusted. However, during the interest-only period, buyers can pay down some of the principal on these mortgages as well. Normally, interest-only mortgages have initial low rates.

Any of these mortgages has its risks. Here are a few examples. Some borrowers are unable to afford fixed-rate mortgages, particularly during time periods when interest rates are high. Adjustable-rate mortgages may experience significant rises in interest rates over the life of the loan. This can startle borrowers, as payments increase sharply. These factors are important to consider when you are shopping for mortgages.

If you don’t plan to keep the new property for a long time, adjustable-rate mortgages might be your best bet, since you might sell before the rates go up. On the other hand, if you hope to keep the property long-term, fixed-rate mortgages might make more sense.

A banker or broker can help you decide which mortgages are best for you depending on your needs and financial situation.
