No law says 30yf and 15yf are the only options, lots of lenders have "pick your term, pick your payment" options all the way from 10 years to 30 (gotta call on Congress to pass legislation if you want a Fannie loan >30 years, the fact that consumers go right up to that maximum term without even thinking about it tells us there is certainly consumer demand for >30 year mortgages).

Good luck and stay safe and healthy out there.Kent Kiess
