The flexible loan. There are enough options here to
customize your loan to your needs, to provide the payment schedule you can afford, and to
take advantage of market interest rates.
With an Adjustable Rate Mortgage, you'll get started at lower payments
than most other mortgage options, which may allow you to qualify for a higher loan amount.
The rate is adjusted
periodically (every 1, 6 or 12 months), following the interest rate
index you choose. And a maximum interest
rate ceiling keeps your rate protected by limiting the top rate you can be charged.
Some ARMs offer a conversion option
in which you can convert to a Fixed Rate Loan.
The conversion option takes a bit of the risk out of fluctuating interest rates.
Our Standard ARM has a maximum limit on how high your interest rate can go. Plus,
ARMs can be assumed by a qualified buyer of your home. And with our Standard ARM, there's
no deferred interest, so that years down the road, you can't be surprised by increases in
your loan amount.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) feature a lower rate and
payment at the beginning of your loan. Your rate and payments adjust periodically based on
an independent index. Your monthly payment can go down if rates are low when your
adjustment occurs and you can protected yourself from sudden rate increases by
selecting an arm with a "rate
cap".
They also have an added bonus on having higher qualifying ratio's.
