Rates
There are generally two types of loans. A fixed loan or an adjustable loan. A fixed rate loan gives you the security a constant rate throughout the life of the loan. Since your rate will not change, your monthly payments will often remain the same during your repayment period. An adjustable rate mortgage rises in falls along with the fluctuate of certain rate indexes. As your loan repayment period goes on, your monthly payment will change as you interest rate changes. Generally an adjustable rate will change every one to five years. Because it is susceptible to change, an adjustable rate loan caries more risk and is usually used by borrowers with less than perfect credit and those planning to move between five and seven years. However, adjustable rate loans come with low introductory rates and rate caps. Depending on the activity of current interest rates, a person with an adjustable rate could actually save money.

Mortgage Calc
A mortgage calc can also show you the difference that the term of your loan makes on your repayment schedule. A $997 monthly payment on a $150,000 loan at 7% over the period of 30 years with $209,263 in total interest may sound acceptable, but using the calculator you can compare this monthly payment to what would be paid on a shorter term loan. The same loan with a 15 year term would have higher monthly payment of 1,348, which is $351 more. However, the 15 year term would cut the total interest in half to the amount of 92,683. In this case, cutting your loan term in half and paying $351 more a month could save you over $100,000.

Mortgage Refiancing
Also, homeowners with an adjustable rate mortgage can use refinancing as an opportunity to switch to a fixed rate. If you are uncomfortable with the risk of an adjustable rate and want to get a loan with a fixed rate while interest rates are low, refinancing your mortgage now would give you a great opportunity to do so.

Refinancing Your Home
Refinancing is much the same process as obtaining a first home loan. Credit and income both come into play when designing your new loan, and if either has diminished since your original loan, it may not pay to refinance.
