Adjustable Rate Mortgages
What is an adjustable rate mortgage?
An adjustable rate mortgage, or ARM, has an interest rate that changes over the life of the loan based on the performance of a variable index plus a margin. Interest rate adjustments are made according to a schedule that is provided at loan closing. With each change, the borrower's monthly payment may go up or down. These periodic interest rate adjustments are limited by adjustment caps.
