Adjustable-Rate Mortgages

Loans with a variable rate after an initial fixed period

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

Significant short-term benefits.

I will help you understand your ARM options and help you decide if this type of loan is the right fit for your situation.

The ARM Advantage

With an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM), the interest rate stays the same for an initial fixed period of time and then adjusts based on market conditions. An ARM usually has a lower interest rate than a standard Fixed-Rate Mortgage for the initial fixed period. However, at the end of the initial fixed-rate period, the interest rate becomes variable and may move up or down depending on the direction of a mortgage index it is associated with.
