Conventional Adjustable-Rate Loans
Live your dream with flexible home loans at great rates.
We’ll help you get a home you can afford.
Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) have an interest rate that changes periodically. That change depends on shifts in a financial index associated with the loan. These mortgages generally offer very competitive initial rates.
Perfect for you if:
- You’re looking for a home at a great loan rate.
- Your long-term plan may include selling your home.
- You have flexibility in your yearly budget.
Loan Features
- Your interest rate and monthly principal and interest (P&I) payments remain the same for an initial period of 5, 7, or 10 years, then adjust periodically.
- Loans available for 30-year amortization schedules.
- Interest rate caps set a limit on how high your interest rate can go.
Loan Benefits
- Typically ARMs have a lower initial interest rate than on a fixed-rate mortgage.
- The interest rate cap limits the maximum amount your P&I payment may increase at each interest rate adjustment and over the life of the loan.
- May provide flexibility if you expect future income growth or if you plan to move or refinance within a few years.
Considerations
- Monthly principal and interest payments may increase when the interest rate adjusts.
- Your monthly principal and interest payments may change twice a year after the initial fixed period is over.
- Your interest rate and monthly principal and interest (P&I) payments remain the same for an initial period of 5, 7, or 10 years, then adjust periodically.
