Mortgage Options in the United States

US homebuyers can choose from several loan types: Conventional loans (not government-backed, best for strong credit profiles), FHA loans (government-insured, popular with first-time buyers due to low down payment requirements), VA loans (for eligible veterans and service members, often with no down payment), and USDA loans (for eligible rural properties). Each has different down payment, credit score, and mortgage insurance requirements.

Understanding PMI

If you put down less than 20% on a conventional loan, you'll pay Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) until you reach roughly 20-22% equity. FHA loans have a similar but distinct charge called MIP (Mortgage Insurance Premium), which in some cases lasts for the life of the loan. Use our PMI Calculator to estimate this cost and see when it can be removed.

Property Tax and Insurance

Property tax rates in the US vary enormously by state and county β€” from under 0.5% to over 2% of assessed value annually. These costs, along with homeowners insurance, are usually collected monthly through an escrow account alongside your principal and interest payment, forming your total "PITI" payment.
