Advantage: Interest rate and monthly payment do not change. Drawback: Interest rate and monthly payment are higher that other loan programs. If you sell or refinance within 7 years you are paying a higher interest rate for security that you won't use. Recommendation: A good program if the owner does not plan to move or refinance for more than 7 years. A good choice if rates are historically very low.
