    Answer:

    Yes. A membership is required if you are approved for the loan.

    Answer:

    Be an informed consumer by understanding the differences between home loan options and shopping around for rates. This will give you the essentials needed to pick the right loan for your situation.

But if you are in it for the long-haul, a fixed-rate mortgage can offer the comfort of always knowing your payment and an interest rate that doesn’t change over the length of the loan.
