Open the sourced answer →CFPB says loan type affects the required down payment, total loan cost including interest and mortgage insurance, and borrowing/house-price range.
Open the sourced answer →CFPB describes conventional loans as the majority of loans; they typically cost less than FHA loans but can be harder to get.
Open the sourced answer →CFPB says FHA loans have low down payments and are available to borrowers with lower credit scores.

Open the sourced answer →CFPB says it typically lowers the interest rate and reduces the loan amount, lowering borrowing costs.
Open the sourced answer →CFPB says a shorter term generally has a lower rate and higher monthly payment, while more of the payment builds equity and less goes to interest.

Open the sourced answer →DIFI states that flood damage is excluded from standard homeowners policies and requires separate flood coverage.
Open the sourced answer →DIFI says coverage needs are based on rebuilding or replacement cost rather than market value.
Open the sourced answer →Replacement-cost coverage generally does not deduct depreciation; actual-cash-value coverage does.
Open the sourced answer →DIFI says the homeowner is not required to buy insurance from the lender’s recommended insurer.
