A VA Home Loan is a government-backed mortgage benefit for eligible U.S. veterans, servicemembers, and surviving spouses. VA guarantees a portion of the loan offering favorable terms like no down payment, low rates, limited closing costs, and no PMI on both purchases and refinances.
A Conventional Loan is a home loan not insured by the U.S. government, backed instead by private lenders and typically conforming to Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guidelines, requiring good credit (usually 620+) and manageable debt, with options for low down payments (as low as 3-5%) but often requiring Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) unless you put 20% down (or have 20% equity in their current home), offering flexibility for various property types and terms like fixed or adjustable rates on both purchases and refinances.
USDA loans are U.S. Department of Agriculture-backed mortgages for low-to-moderate-income buyers in eligible rural and suburban areas, offering 100% financing (no down payment) with lenient credit and income requirements, competitive rates, and features like fixed rates, but they come with property location, income caps, and mortgage insurance requirements. These loans help promote homeownership in less densely populated areas by reducing barriers like large down payments for both purchases and refinances.
An FHA loan is a government-insured mortgage by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) from private lenders, designed to help people with lower credit scores or smaller down payments become homeowners (or refinance their current home), often requiring as little as 3.5% down (with a 580+ credit score) unlike conventional loans, FHA loans may offer easier qualification on both purchases and refinances.
A reverse mortgage is a special type of home loan for people 62 or older that lets them convert part of their home equity into cash without having to make monthly mortgage payments for both purchases and refinances.
A second mortgage is a loan using your home's equity as collateral, allowing you to borrow more cash without refinancing your primary mortgage, common types being fixed-rate Home Equity Loans (lump sum) or revolving Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs). It provides funds for major expenses like renovations or debt consolidation
