Qualification Requirements: Stable income, acceptable credit score (typically 620+), debt-to-income (DTI) ratio within lender limits, employment verification, and down payment (often 3%–20%).

Qualification Requirements: Similar to 30-year fixed, but borrowers usually need stronger income due to higher monthly payments. Good credit and lower DTI preferred.
Mortgage with an interest rate that changes periodically after an initial fixed period (such as 5, 7, or 10 years). Often starts with lower rates, but payments may increase later.
Qualification Requirements: Requires income verification, acceptable credit, and qualifying based on current or future adjusted payment. Often easier to qualify for larger loan amounts initially.
Government-backed loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Designed for buyers with lower credit scores or smaller down payments.
Qualification Requirements: Lower credit score requirements (typically 580+ for 3.5% down), steady income, primary residence occupancy, and FHA loan limits apply.
Government-backed loans for eligible veterans, active-duty military members, and surviving spouses. Often require no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI).
