There are many different kinds of home mortgage lender depending on the type of mortgage required. Some basis home mortgage lenders are FHA lenders,
Subprime Lenders, VA lenders and Commercial Lenders.
Which mortgage lender to go for?
FHA Lenders
FHA lenders are best for the first time home buyers. Such loans have a low interest rate and are insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
Sub prime (Imperfect Credit) Lenders
Sub Prime mortgage lenders provide loans for people with a bad credit. So in case you have a bad or a poor credit history they are your best bet.
VA Lenders
VA Lenders provide loans for US veterans. Such loans do not carry any downpayment and have the same benefits as an FHA loan. They are fixed rate loans guaranteed by the US department of Veteran affairs.
Commercial Lenders
Commercial lenders offer mortgage loans for any commercial property as a collateral. Commercial property can include Office, Retail or Healthcare.
So based on the mortgage buyer's credibility he gets eligible for any one of these loans and can go for any home mortgage lender.
