ARMs – Adjustable Rate Mortgages
Adjustable rate mortgages are a great tool for the advanced borrower and if used right, it can put a lot more money in your pocket, where it belongs. ARM’s are a great option if you plan to relocate in the near future or have a high loan amount where a lower interest rate can make a big difference to your monthly payment.
-
How It Works
+Adjustable rate mortgages offer a low interest rate for an initial fixed period and then adjusts based on market conditions. For example, a 5/1 ARM is a 30-year loan, that is fixed for the first 5 years and then can adjust every year after that based on market conditions. The 5 stands for the initial fixed period and the 1 shows that the rate can change every year after the initial 5 years. The initial fixed period typically has the lowest rates on the market.
