A mortgage is a loan used to buy real estate. A standard or conforming mortgage is a key concept as it often defines whether or not the mortgage can be easily sold or securitized, or, if non-standard, may affect the price at which it may be sold. Biweekly mortgages are loans in which the borrower makes payments every two weeks instead of the typical monthly payment arrangement in the mortgage marketing system. Fixed-rate mortgages are the most common mortgage for first-time home buyers because they’re stable. Balloon mortgages are usually a last resort for those who can’t qualify for a standard fixed or adjustable rate mortgage.
