Loan Types
Get started by learning which loan size you will need, whether that's conforming or jumbo.  You might also be interested in the Home Ownership Accelerator program.

You also need to know the difference between fixed and adjustable loans.  There are two basic types of adjustable loans, hybrid ARMs and option ARMs.

Interest-only loans are still available, but need to be approached carefully.  Stated income financing is also available if you can't or don't want to document your income.
