One of the most important (and possibly confusing) decisions you will make in the home-buying process will be which mortgage to choose.
 
 Your choice of mortgage is vitally important because the wrong decision can be financially devastating. If you find out too late that your mortgage is outside of your financial means, you can not only lose your home but seriously damage your credit rating as well. You could find yourself unable to purchase another home for years, and having a very difficult time even being approved as a rental tenant in the meantime.
 
 Choosing a mortgage can be very confusing as well, because the range of possibilities is almost unlimited these days. There are many different types of loans, and these are often combined with one or more of hundreds of special programs available. Mortgage loans are offered through thousands of different institutions, including mortgage brokers, banks, credit unions, financing companies, and even stock brokerage firms. The potential combinations of options are endless.
 
Considering that the choice of a mortgage is one that will affect your financial future in the years to come, and the staggering number of options, what should you as a home-buyer do?
 
 The best thing you can do is to take the time to educate yourself as thoroughly as you can about the available options before reaching a decision. Information is readily available from a number of sources, including online web sites, informational books, helpful magazine and newsprint articles, and available home-buying workshops and seminars. You may also enlist the aid and advice of a professional consultant, such as your financial planner, real estate agent (remember that they often work for the SELLER and not the buyer), mortgage broker, or other lender.
