Adjustable Rate Programs

Adjustable Rate Programs

ARMs Offer Lowest Interest Rates Available

An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is a loan with an interest rate that changes. ARMs commonly start with much lower down payments than a comparable fixed-rate mortgage, but it is important to keep in mind:

– Your monthly payments could change
– Your mortgage payments may increase even if interest rates do not
– Your payments may not go down much or at all even if interest rates go down

ARM Benefits:

  • Usually lower mortgage payments than fixed-rate mortgages
  • Lower rates available
  • Save money when not staying in the house long-term
