One of the most popular types of mortgages is the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. This loan is usually the easiest to qualify for and provides the maximum interest deduction at tax time. The interest rate stays the same over the life of the loan which provides unchanging low monthly payments.

Over time, borrowers gain equity in the home as they pay down the principal or actual loan amount. For borrowers who intend on staying in the house for a long time this mortgage is particularly helpful and practical. A disadvantage of the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is paying more interest over time than shorter period.

Current Mortgage Rates

No matter what the economy looks like, mortgage rates change on a daily, even hourly, basis. Rate fluctuations can cost or save you thousands of dollars. With that in mind, the question when shopping for a loan is whether it's best to lock in a rate or float the loan. Either way, there's risk.

It's your choice the rate-lock option means a borrower fixes the price at the current mortgage rates, provided he or she finalizes the loan within a specified period. The upside is that you are protected against a potential mortgage rate increase. But if the rate goes down, you could end up paying more than necessary. The "float" option, by contrast, allows the borrower to adopt a wait-and-see approach. The risk remains, though: If rates do rise, you wind up losing money.

Locking current mortgage rates is a good idea if rates are on an upward trend, so take time to understand the market when you're shopping for a home loan. If prices aren't fluctuating by much, or if they're moving downward, it would be better not to lock. Locks typically last for 30, 45, 60 days or more. The longer you lock, though, the more likely it is that you'll have to pay a fee for the privilege.

Lowest Interest Rate

Mortgage rates today are low, encouraging home buyers and homeowners to look for new mortgages. Some mortgage borrowers are opting for a shorter mortgage term of 15 years because the monthly payments are more affordable because of today's low mortgage rate.

Not everyone can take advantage of the opportunity to refinance or qualify for a new home loan due to today’s tightened credit guidelines.

To be approved at the lowest mortgage rates, borrowers do not need to have the highest credit scores. In addition, the consumers need a reasonable debt-to-income ratio. Most lenders will qualify borrowers at a maximum of 50 percent of overall debt to household gross monthly income. Some borrowers with significant assets or income will be able to qualify even with slightly lower credit scores or higher debt.

Minimum Credit Score of 600

Generally, a borrower who has made timely payments for the last 12 months serves as a guide and demonstrates their willingness to repay future credit obligations. New FHA Policy changes require minimum FICO score to be 600 for 85% loan-to-value. These FICO requirements will go into effect in the spring 2010. However, most individual lenders will still require credit scores higher than 640.

A perfect credit score is not needed for an FHA loan approval. In fact, even if you have had credit problems, such as a bankruptcy, it's easier for you to qualify for an FHA loan than a for a conventional loan. Sometimes scores down to 600 are accepted if there are compensating factors that offset the credit risk
