Can I get financing for a home 

While media coverage of the nation’s economy might make you think otherwise, the simple truth is that banks have plenty of money to lend. There may be a few extra questions as precautions to help lenders avoid mistakes of the past, but home loans are readily available and at some of the lowest interest rates ever. 

Key items a bank will focus on include whether you’re looking at a 15 or 30-year mortgage, whether you’re looking for a fixed or adjustable interest rate, and the monthly payment you can afford to make.
