ARM, interest only loans, reverse mortgage, and accelerated/bi-weekly payoff are always bad ideas. At least 10% down, but no more than 25% of total take home pay, 15yr fixed rate only, and buy in the bottom price bracket of the neighborhood
VA loans, ARM's and reverse mortgages. Have at least a 10% down payment and use the 15 year fixed rate mortgage. never buy until you have absolutely no debt, have a steady job and a fully funded emergency fund.
There are many things that you need to avoid when it comes to mortgages. There are VA loans, reverse mortgages and balloon mortgages. One of the things that you need to keep in mind when getting a loan is that you should never plan on getting a raise or a bonus. If you make your payments based on a future pay raise then there is a chance that that raise will never come. Then you are stuck not being able to pay off the debt. This is never good. Adam

Keep in mind that the best mortgage is a 100% down mortgage, but if you must actually get a loan, go for a conventional mortgage with at least 10% down. A 15-year conventional loan is strongly recommended by Dave Ramsey. Do not feel obligated to buy a house as soon as possible - it is often a good idea to rent until you have a secure, decent-paying job and a large down payment saved up.

ARMs, bi-weekly payoffs, and reverse mortgages are all bad mortgages.
ReplyDeletePut down no less than 10%, go with the 15 year instead of 30, don't buy until you have a good emergency fund and no debt.
