Here we do not have mortgage terms longer than 7-10 years and most folks use a 5-year term, so the concept of ones mortgage rolling-over every few years is par for the course ... you simply renew/refinance, or pay out, as your mortgage comes due.On those 5-year terms, you have a choice of either a fixed-rate mortgage (on a 25 - 30 year amortization) or a variable rate mortgage (which floats with the prime rate).  

A little background: I have four traditional loans right now and have found a lender that will go up to 10.I walked through a Fourplex today that I would like to get a traditional mortgage on.
