Understanding Different Types of Mortgages

While choosing a mortgage, everyone’s main focus is on the interest rates and the amount of fee charged on that mortgage.

There are two major types of Mortgages:

In a fixed-rate mortgage, the interest rate remains constant/fixed for a few years which then, in 2 to 5 years bracket, changes in the variable rate.
