Which Program is best for me?

Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting a loan program.

Advantages:   Disadvantages:
Maximum interest deduction for taxes, sometimes easier to qualify, stable predictable payments, high loan to value, lower down payment.
  
Pay more interest over the life of the loan, higher starting interest rate, Lower debt ratio (Larger Income to qualify). Higher monthly payment.

 
5/1 and 7/1 Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Advantages:   Disadvantages:
Potentially lower starting interest rates are attractive if you plan to sell within 2-3 years or if you expect your income to increase in the near future.
  
Periodic payment and rate increases, builds equity slower. Payment increases may affect budget.
