Adjustable Rate Mortgage: Your Best
Home Loan Option?

Whether you're on the move or just have commitment issues, an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) may be just for you. ARMs offer a low fixed interest rate that stays in place for an initial period before any changes occur. After the initial period, the rate may go up – or down – once a year based on current market conditions. If your plans include moving on to another locale in the near future, why pay the higher interest rate of a long term fixed mortgage when a lower initial rate ARM may save you thousands of dollars in payments and interest charges during the time you're in the home?

The Good Stuff

Here are the top perks you may expect if you select an ARM as your home loan choice.

More Cash In Your Pocket

An ARM provides you with initial interest rates that are often lower than those associated with fixed-rate mortgages. A lower mortgage payment allows you to free up some extra dollars on more immediate needs.

Save For The Future

Because an ARM can help you save money, prudent homeowners often apply those extra funds to other monetary matters, such as investing, starting a college fund or just saving for a rainy day.

Buy Bigger Home

Since ARMs usually mean lower initial interest rates and monthly payments, you may be able to afford a larger mortgage. In other words, you might be able to afford an even bigger place than you first imagined.

Conducive For Short-Term Plans

ARMs are an ideal solution if you're certain where your future is headed in the next 5-10 years. If your plans for your home are short term and you want to move on to something bigger and better (or smaller and simpler) or your career will be taking you elsewhere, an ARM gives you the benefit of paying less while you're there.

The Nuts And Bolts

You can purchase a new home with as little as 5% down.
You can refinance up to 95% of your primary home's value.
Cash out refinance is permitted.
Credit a consideration? No problem – credit scores as low as 620 may qualify.
Sellers can help too! Up to 9% of seller contributions are allowed toward closing costs.
Your rate may change annually following the initial fixed period. Rates may go up, down, or remain the same. Your monthly payments will change accordingly.

More Details And Specifics

ARMs could be used to purchase or refinance a primary residence, second home or investment property.
Eligible properties include Single Family Residences, Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), Condos and Multi-Family (2-4) Units.
You have multiple mortgage insurance options for loans with less than 20% down payment or equity.

A Few Extras

Your rate may increase, but you're protected from it skyrocketing. Depending on the type of ARM selected, interest rate and payment caps may offer protection.
