An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a loan in which the interest rate may change periodically, usually based upon a pre-determined index. The ARM loan may include an initial fixed-rate period that is typically 3 to 10 years. The interest rate then may change (adjust) each year thereafter once the initial fixed period ends.
ARM loans typically feature lower rates and monthly payments than comparable fixed-rate loans during the initial rate period, but rates could increase or decrease once the initial rate expires.
Conventional ARMs typically feature lower interest rates and APRs during the initial rate period.
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) lets you keep your monthly payments low during the initial term of your home loan, which gives you the option to pay down your mortgage faster.
Conventional ARMs are available for refinancing your existing mortgage, too.
ARMs are a great option, but they're not the only option. Contact Residential Funding Consultants to learn more and find out which mortgage option may be the best fit for you.
