So my wife and I are moving to Columbus, and we're looking to buy a house for a 4-5 years. I was told that a 30-year fixed mortgage is probably not the right one for me. I was thinking about ARM mortgages, or interest only mortgages, and somebody told me about LIBOR mortgages (which I know nothing about). Does anybody have any suggestions?

picking a loan program should be based on what payment is good for u. in most cases an adj offers the lower rate then a fixed rate. also keep in mind the with an adj the rate adjust after it's term wether it be 3 years 5 years or 7 years. most homeowners refinance in 2-3 years. so i would go adj. especially because u first time homebuyer. fixed 30 year rates tend to be higher on a new purchase. interest only can also be helpful as well the down side to interest only is that you are not paying down the payments on your home. get a loan that will work for u then refinance it later if u haven't do so already.

DO NOT GET AN ARM. That's the only suggestion I'll make!
