Mortgage paperwork is written by lawyers and quoted by salespeople, which means most people sign the largest contract of their lives without a clear picture of what the words in it mean. Clearly Mortgage exists to close that gap. It is a reference site, not a lender: nothing here is trying to qualify you, rate you, or sell you a loan.
The core of the site is a side-by-side comparison of the common mortgage types — fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, conforming, jumbo, FHA-insured, and VA-backed — laid out in one table so you can see how the categories actually differ before a loan officer starts using them interchangeably. Around that table are short guides answering the specific questions people actually type: what a quoted mortgage rate really includes, what a conforming loan limit is and why it matters, what "government-backed" means on FHA and VA loans, and how the mortgage interest deduction is defined in the tax code.
Everything is grounded in the primary sources — HUD, the FHFA, Freddie Mac's rate survey, the VA, and the IRS — and each guide links to them so you can verify the details yourself. When it comes time to make an actual decision, take what you learned here to a lender, a HUD-approved housing counselor, or a tax professional.
