Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are a popular choice for homebuyers and homeowners who anticipate changes in their financial situation, plan to move, or will refinance within a few years.
Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are a type of home loan with interest rates that can change periodically. Unlike fixed-rate mortgages, which remain constant for the entire loan term, ARMs begin with a fixed interest rate for an initial period and then adjust at specified intervals based on market conditions.
Adjustable-rate mortgages offer a variety of term structures that dictate how and when the interest rate changes over the life of the loan. These can include:
Eligibility for an adjustable-rate mortgage loan is determined by your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, down payment, income and employment history, loan-to-value ratio, savings, and the property type you hope to buy.
Use these resources to calculate numbers and check your credit status.
