Conventional Fixed-Rate Mortgage

Definition

Offers you a set interest rate and payments that do not change throughout the life, or “term,” of the loan. A conventional fixed-rate loan is fully paid off over a given number of years – usually 15, 20 or 30. A portion of each monthly payment goes toward paying back the money borrowed, or the “principal,” with the rest being interest.
