Description
Interest rates are set during the lifespan of the loan. The monthly payments can stay the same for each month. The benefits of conventional fixed-rate mortgages are: If interest rates increase, the owner’s mortgage rate will not change during the mortgage’s lifespan. If the mortgage rates are lower than the loan rate, owners have the possibility to refinance, usually without a penalty, which the homebuyer can take advantage of the lower rates. Usually, there is no penalty for paying the mortgage earlier.
