Fixed Rate Loans
Several categories of conventional loans exist, the most common and familiar being the fixed rate mortgage. In the cases of fixed rate mortgages, the borrower will lock in an interest rate, and pay down both the principal and interest on the loan at that interest rate every month until the mortgage is paid off. The most typical term of a fixed rate loan is 30 years, though fixed rate mortgages can also be obtained for much shorter terms, the primary difference being in the size of the monthly mortgage payment.
Conforming Loans
Other conventional loans are known as conforming loans. In these cases, an arrangement is made between borrower and lender that comply with the stipulations of two federally run mortgage trading companies (or Government Sponsored Entities - GSEs) Fannie Mae (FNME) and or Freddie Mac (FHLMC).
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not directly approve or deny loans. They buy and sell home mortgages, working with lenders to make home ownership easier for people to attain. Lenders like to sign up borrowers with conforming loan, because they can then sell these loans to Fannie May or Freddie Mac in order to more quickly receive the funds coming to them, and use those funds to make other investments. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in turn, then repackage these loans to sell to investors as securities.
The current guidelines for a conventional Fannie Mae loan set a maximum purchase price for a single-family home at slightly above $415,000 (though residents of Alaska, Hawaii, or Guam may be able to qualify for an even larger loan).
The interest rate as well as the short- and long-term pricing on a conforming loan is determined primarily by the type of loan applied for. Also taken into consideration will be the amount of funds you already have to contribute to closing costs, your credit rating, credit score, and credit history, your employment history, and the type and location of the home in question.
Jumbo Loans
Other forms of conventional loans are nonconforming loan instruments that do not meet Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan qualifications, such as jumbo loans, or loans so large they fall outside the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits (or purchase limits). Jumbo loans are provided by private investors and as such ordinarily come with much higher interest rates than conforming loans.
FHA Loans
Government entities from a local to a federal level and private entities alike have worked to develop loan programs that make home ownership a reality for many people considered under-qualified for traditional mortgages. These include loans for first-time homebuyers and people with a low-to-moderate income that are insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) via the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
HUD and the FHA do not make loans directly, rather they insure loans, meaning that the lender still gets paid back even if you default on the home loan. Often, FHA insured loans are available with d

Tennessee Black Gold: Ready for the Big Boom?
One thing stands out in the hills of Morgan County: Oil wells - in fields, on street corners, in backyards, and in pastures. "They say Morgan County's got the most gas wells that you'll ever see," says local resident Anna Jenkins. Geologist Gene Lockyear is one person trying to keep those wells going, while also exploring new sources of production. "Geologically, the potential is there," he says, "and it's a matter of getting the economics in line to where we can go for it." One oil well has been pumping black crude since 1948. "It makes about 2 barrels a day," Lockyear says. The feeling here on the plateau is that Tennessee is ready to increase production, if a major oil company comes in and increases production.

Ninth Judicial Watch: Man Gets 90 Days for Raping 14-Year-Old Step-Daughter
Just how serious is the statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl? Opinions will vary. Form your own, and I'll save mine for the blog. Ninth Judicial District Criminal Court Judge Eugene Eblen has sentenced a man to 90 days in jail, followed by supervised probation for the balance of two years, for the statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl who was his stepdaughter. For the victim, former stepfather Kevin M. Spurling remains a "monster" who continues to haunt her daily thoughts. As a result of the incidents, she went into a deep depression. "I would cut my arms or sides to let out some of my suppressed feelings of hurt," according to her statement. According to the Knoxville News-Sentinel one person has objected that this sentence is unjust! To Roane County Public Defender Walter Johnson, the judge's decision was too harsh and a likely subject of appeal. Mr. Johnson had requested judicial diversion for his client, which Judge Eblen denied. One more item: The victim's mother is apparently pleased with the sentence, saying she was surprised that Spurling got jail time. DAG Russell Johnson said state officials assured him Monday that Spurling is also a candidate for the state's sex-offender registry. Thus, I have no problem with posting his picture here.
