FULL-TERM vs HYRBID

Loans can be structured as full-term or hybrid. Full-term loans are fixed for the entire 30-year loan term, amortize over the life of the loan, and are paid in full upon loan maturity at the end of the 30-year term. Hybrid loans have a fixed-rate for the initial 5-year fixed term, then adjust semi-annually through the remaining 25-years of the 30-year loan term. 

Full-Term Benefits: Higher rate but provides the most security. Loan is fixed for the entire loan term.

Hybrid Benefits: Lower rate than a full-term loan. Borrower has the benefit of a lower fixed-rate loan during the initial term, can ride the adjusting rate after the initial fixed-term through loan maturity, or sell/refinance.
