Is there really a no cost mortgage, is a 1% fixed rate mortgage for real? This week we discuss the 3 most common mortgage advertisements currently being broadcasted  on television and the internet.
1) The no closing cost loan...what is the catch? Are there really no costs?
2) The low fixed rate loan that sounds too good to be true. It's most likely an adjustable rate loan.
3) The ever prevalent 1% adjustable rate loan which is always advertised by quoting the low payment you'll be making.
We explain how the loans work and why the ads are deceptive. We also give you a handy link to the Federal Trade Commission's checklist on what to look for in mortgage advertising.
