Conventional Mortgage
The traditional mortgage has a constant interest rate that doesn't change for the life of the loan. Your payment is split between principal and interest and remains the same every month. Note that if you have escrow payments (for insurance and taxes) included in your monthly payment, there could be an annual adjustment in your total payment based on the balances of those accounts.
