Mortgage Types
Since some mortgage options
are less conservative than others, it's important
to determine if you are a risk taker or if you
prefer more stability in your financial dealings.
Do you invest in the stock market? Or do you put
your money into certificates of deposit?
These are two different ways
of handling money. Your answers to these and other
questions that may be asked by your lender will
help you to choose the mortgage that is right
for you.
