Fixed-rate loans may be the best choice for you if:

You expect your income to remain the same in the coming years
You don't plan on moving for the foreseeable future
You want the security of fixed rates and payments that will only change if taxes and insurance change

No Origination Fees

At BECU you don't pay an origination fee on conventional fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage home loans for purchase and refinance transactions**

Let's Take a Look at Your Options:

Fixed-rate loans are available for 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30-year terms. What's the best length for your situation? Here are some things to think about:

Total interest you want to pay over the term. The total cost of interest on a 30-year loan is higher than the interest cost of a shorter loan. With a 30-year loan, you have lower monthly payments, but a higher rate.
Your ability to make a higher monthly payment. With a shorter term you pay the loan off faster, but you need to be able to afford higher payments. A 10-15-20 year term will also save you thousands in interest over a 30-year loan.
