5-7	7/1 ARM

10+	30 year fixedor 15 year fixed

Loan Programs	Advantages	Disadvantages
Fixed Rate Mortgages 30 year fixed 15 year fixed	Monthly payments are fixed over the life of the loan Interest rate does not change Protected if rates go up Can refinance if rates go down	Higher interest rate Higher mortgage payments Rate does not drop if interest rates improve
Adjustable Rate Mortgages 10/1 ARM 7/1 ARM 5/1 Arm 3/1 ARM 1 year ARM 6 month ARM	Lower initial monthly payment Lower payment over a shorter period of time Rates and payments may go down if rates improve May qualify for higher loan amounts	More risk Payments may change over time Potential for high payments if rates go up
Balloon Mortgages 7 year 5 year	Lower initial monthly payment Lower payment over a shorter period of time Many balloon mortgages offer the option to convert to a new loan after the initial term.

Imperfect Credit Programs	Potential for reestablishing credit if you pay your mortgage on time. When used for debt consolidation, you may be able to reduce your monthly debt payment	Higher rates Terms may not be as favorable Harder to get long term fixed loans Loans may have prepayment penalties
